Cam Shaft Thrust

[The Mafia]

Hi everyone

Just wondering if anyone knows how much thrust there should be on the cams.

Mine are about 7thou with the end cap on, with no lifters or other caps on. is this too much?

Thanks

Jono

Hi Jono- standard thrust should be .03-08mm, this is for RB26

thanks for the reply

Mine is about 6 thou, I haven't been about to check it properly yet though, will post back here with results when I do.

Dale_FZ1 says that the nissan manual for the RB25 says 0.06mm to 0.11mm thrust.

I love what niisan say for the fix. Try a new cam @ probably $1000. If that doesnt fix it get a new head, probably $3000 by the time you fit it.

Is there an issue that you are trying to fix, or are you just checking everything? TBH ive never checked it.

There is a bit of scoring on the tunnels. Everyone says it will be fine, but make sure I change the cam shafts themselves as the journals are scratched with at least 1thou scratches.

I need to check the thrust to make sure its ok. I'm sure it will be, but better to be safe than sorry.
