What's in the Box
- (1) Camshaft Thrust Plate
FRPP Camshaft Thrust Plate
Ensure proper cam tolerances and prevent cam walk in your 1993-1995 F-150 Lightning with this Ford Performance thrust plate! Cam walk is the movement either forward or backward of your cam within the block. Cam walk is a common occurrence found in roller cam setups and is caused by your engine block having its tappet bosses bored out of square with the cam bearing bore, causing the roller tappets to thread the camshaft in or out, depending on the direction of rotation. This is a normal occurrence for roller motors but is pretty much non-existent in non-roller setups. The telltale signs of cam-walk are a worn thrust face on the block (if the movement was backward) or a scored timing chain cover (if the movement was forward), or excessive wear of the cam's distributor drive gear. After a long service life spanning many years & tens of thousands of miles, your camshaft thrust plate will probably need replacement during your camshaft install or engine rebuild. The cam thrust plate is designed to wear out and sacrifice itself to save your 1st gen sport truck timing cover from cam-walk!
