Re: How to repair an eccentric lobe

[RICHARD A. WHITE]

Quite simple actually and Tubs, thanks 🙂

You simply machine a cylinder with an ID .001 smaller than the OD of your cam, and an ID closer to what it was originally, heat the sleeve and slide it on. You may have to machine the lobe to bring it back to an actual eccentric, But that in itself it not that great of a task for a decent machinist. It can be done in a lathe or a milling machine.

Get a good chunk of Ampco(sp) Bronze, to make the ring/sleeve, and another to make the disc to attach to the water pump piston, and it should not wear out for at least another 200 years…
