Since they both are 8BA generation putting in an early camgear doesn´t matter...will just put trust back againt block.
8BA should have the cam rest against the front cover...but if you start to increase the load on the cam with stiffer springs so does the forward force.
So did someone by chance put an early ignition on it ??
With a proper ignition cover cam would have to eat a hole in the center before the gear hits the cover...
