<![CDATA[Cam Sprocket Deviation :(]]>I put this to the back of my mind, then my Dad kindly reminded me of it today…

My rear cam sprocket seems wobbly when running, maybe a 2mm deviation in and out. I cant work out whether the sprockets bent or the cam or the bolt. It was torqued to spec. I wouldn't have even noticed this had I not taken out the rubber cam circles on the timing belt cover! The bolt seems to fluctuate as well, though obviously imbalance is worst as the farthest point - where the timing belt is.

Any thoughts guys?

It's hard to tell in that video but somethings definately warped. I have some kl31 cams sitting about so maybe this is the sign to put them in :roll:
