TVR E0245
Camshaft retaining plate
To fit TVR Griffith, Chimaera, V8S and V8 Tasmin. Many Rover V8 engines did not have these retaining plates fitted as standard but they are neccessary to correctly locate the camshaft in the V8 engine. All later engines have the facility to fit a retaining plate and all replacement camshafts have the groove to accept the retaining plate. Endfloat on the camshaft should be 0.002"-0.003" and the retaining plate is chosen to give this required endfloat. May need further machining to optimise the clearance
