Default cam picture?

does anybody have a picture of the passengers side cam bolting into the phaser? stock or aftermarket cam pictures.

i need to know if there is a little space it looks like where the cam bolts into the phaser on the back of the phaser.

it doesnt looks perfectly flush to me but i dont know if its supposed to look like that or not.

thanks!!!

make sure you are using the shorter
cam for the passenger side, the cams
are different lengths.

yea i figured that out but it looks like the passengers side has a little grove in between the cam and the phaser as if it doesnt sit perfectly flush

i think you are probably ok. the alignment
keyway only allows the cam to slide into
the phaser one way and the cam only
slides in so far.

as long as the phaser is on the cam, the
keyway is lined up and you get the bolt
in and torqued, all should be good.

heres a picture i took tonight of the FRPP Hot Rod Cam. now what confuses me is the lobes on the camshaft lines up with the lifters and the chain on the phaser is directly in the middle of the orange tensionor that is in the timing chain cover area itself. so it seems everything is lined up perfect BUT this just looks very very odd
