Following the Haynes instructions, I cleaned and lubricated the bushes and the camshaft and carefully installed it.
I then fitted the camshaft thrust plate.
The manual says i need to check the camshaft end float.
I am a bit confused. At the moment, the camshaft cannot move in one longitudinal direction because of the thrust plate. But there is nothing stopping it moving in the other direction.
I do have the gasket and cover, to cover the hole at the other end but that I presume is to retain oil and doesn't touch the camshaft.
I suspect I am missing something important.
I do think that once i have fitted the camshaft sprocket, the camshaft won't be able to move longitudinally, but that doesn't fit with the idea of testing endfloat now.
