Cam Button & Lock Plate Kit, Small Block Chevy, Gen I w/ .800" Depth Timing Cover

Hi Performance Chevy engines require something to limit cam movement. Our thrust button & lock plate kit is designed to do just that.

Don't take chances with your expensive engine, add a thrust button to limit cam movement.

Why is this important? When the cam moves to far, lobes can contact adjacent lifters.

Cam movement also causes erratic ignition timing.

For use with Gen I SBC.

Will not fit Gen II with factory roller cam. The bolt spread is different on Gen II w/ factory roller cam plus they use a thrust plate so a button is not required. This button fits early SBC  w/ .800" Depth timing cover.

     Kit comes with:

• Torrington "Roller Bearing" Cam Button Assembly
• Three 5/16-NC, Grade Eight Mounting Bolts
• Lock Plate w/ bendable tangs

     Specifications

• Button Depth- .800"
  
• Button Base Diameter- .870"
• Will not fit "shallow" timing cover
  

For those who only need a new lock plate, we carry those separately.
