So ive been clearancing my case for the stroker build, crank is all assembled everything clears nicely. Set the cam in to make sure everything is good there, Well the Thrust bearing ( Bearing closest to gear) Doesnt fit onto the cam? Im very confused by this...lol I went double thrust bearings, Is this not compatible with an fk8 or something? The bearing is simply to wide to fit between things..

did you try to fit the cam bearing onto the cam out of the motor, what you should do is take a set of calipers and measure the overall width of the cam bearing and the cam journal, and see whats different, and compare some of the measurements to your old cam and bearings

You will need to set the end play on the cam. You have to LIGHTLY sand the bearings on a nice flat surface to get the desired clearance. Only do one side of the bearings and make sure you do the same side for both halves. I like about .002"-.003" end play.

I was wondering about that , because theres no movement at all . It spins freely but no clearance.
