Does anyone know the diameter and length spec on the camshaft dowel pin ( between the camshaft
and timing gears )? Dove say it should be 1 5/8” long. Dura-Bond sell a kit for the FE and the dowel in that kit
is 1.5” long. Just wondering what is the correct length?

The reason I ask, is I am installing a new Crower cam and roller timing setup. The current dowel protrudes only
0.02” past the timing gears, so not much for the eccentric to catch on. How far should the dowel pin extend
past the timinging gear? The pump eccentric metal is about 0.12” thick so I would have though the dowel pin would
want to extend about 0.1” into the eccentric?

Any help appreciated.

Received a reply on another forum. The dowel pins supplied in many kits are 1.5".
This is too short. They should be 1 5/8 to catch the eccentric properly. Dove
engineering are correct.
