Fitting camshaft
#1
I saw a thread which had diverted from its origins, mentioning fitting the camshaft by holding the rollers in place with grease. I have found it far easier to hold the rollers in place with a tight elastic band (as well as grease). You can usually get it in place with all the rollers first time, then cut the elastic band.

Robert whatever suits you best. I like to put petrolian jelly in the fridge overnight then use it to hold the rollers in place. I have also used masking tape over half the width of the rollers to hold them then washed them well after assembly with petrol.

Elastic band works for me. It can of course be removed cleanly leaving nothing unwanted lurking in your engine oil.

Unless you forget to remove it, like I did once.

Elastic band every time .

I just did it (several times over) and used just grease with no problems. Bit colder over here in NZ now than in the UK so that probably helped!
