Some of you, ok a couple of you were following my cam timing thread. Now that I feel the timing is dialed in I went to reassemble everything and noticed my cam bearings are not feeling very good. Two of them spin smoothly and the other 2 feel like junk. So I ordered 4 new ones koyo 16005. While it's all apart I also found I'm missing the little brass (or rubber coated metal from mikesxs) spacer from my cam chain tensioner. I've been running this way probably 7 or 8 years with no noticable I'll effects (though it explains why my tensioner is so far in). Question is, do I really need to replace this spacer? If you've read this far, thanks for any input.
