Best way to fit CAS without belt cover?

[Godzilla32]

Im planning to leave the top belt cover off my RB26 what the best way to space the CAS so it wont sit in too far?

About 3mm worth of washers i think from memory...but thats from an rb20 cover. You need to measure the cover thickness and those rubber grommets that sit on outside and then replace that thickness and bolt it onto holding bracket. If you dont pack it out enough ull notice the fine shavings making a mess in your timing housing and the cas connecting tip on the camshaft breaking off mysteriously:) Took me 2 exhaust camshafts on my mates rb20 s13 to work that one out...lol.

broke pin on camshaft and the actual rod out of the CAS broke in half as well !

ive got two ~1.5mm washers on there now, but becareful when pulling it out that the washers dont fall in the bottom timing belt casing... done that too...

learnt the hard way
