Use a Rocker shaft adjustment bolt.
Weld appropriate threaded nut to the correct place on timing cover.
Use an ARP Cam Sprocket retention bolt as they have the dimple already in them.

Quite a while back, Doc had explained to me cam button installation techniques. I printed it and put it somewhere and cant find it now. I am FINALLY assembling the engine and need to know what I should set the cam endplay at. Thanks, 63GT MoparBrat63@aol.com |

This link looks to be broken. Any ideas? I have a cam walk issue on the "street engine" |

The original content is over 20 years old. I bet the link takes it back to the Old Deactivated forum. Are you trying to build yourself a cam button? Greg |

Greg, yes, trying to fabricate a button to ride on the cam bolt. Teflon, Delron, Nylon, something with those types of materials. Lou, I assume you have a welded nut and a bolt riding in the cam bolt? So there is no link to the older material? |

Welded nut to timing cover, then used Slant 6 rocker adjuster screw with polished end. I have run a few motors regularly at 6000 RPM with no button and no troubles, so I can't say they've done anything for me. I have done this on the last few engines/covers I modified/built. Lou |

I do not think you need delrin or any special industrial plastics for this. Greg |

The reason I said a plastic material was because I ran one on my 440. An old racer gave it to me. It just slipped over the bolt head on a single bolt 440 cam and sandwiched the cam and timing cover. It was some kind of plastic. I have some wear marks on the back of my cover, so I know the cam is walking forward.
