i was installing my cam and timing set today and found my cam sprocket hits the thrust plate bolts. the directions say take the plate to a machinist and have it machined"countersink the holes" and use there supplied screws. i was also told i could do it myself with a drill bit. i just wanna know what you guys have done?

im kind of curious myself. since my cam will be going in this week. are all new timing sets this way or just the type you bought?

you really should buy a countersink bit, I used an oversized drill bit when I modified one of mine for an engine i DID

since we're on the topic of timing chains. when i pulled mine apart the chain was so loose i could almost touch the chains together. so obviously stretched....but would that cause a slight lag in the throttle? not a hesitation or anything just feels like a jerking or catching feeling when you hammer down on the throttle....i hope you understand what im describing.
