moe1965 765 #1 Posted May 8, 2022 Hello all it's finally time I got to putting this 301 together. I'm gonna take my time and I'm going to have questions from time to time I'm sure. Here is the first. Does it matter what side the shims go on the camshaft there were two on at the time I dissembled it and can't remember what side or if there was one on each side thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 51,732 #2 Posted May 8, 2022 I think they go on the gear side. I would put both back in and check the cam and play. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you go swapping blocks or cams you might need different shims. All original you should be ok but check to make sure. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
