Mike 57 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Stock motor does not need a button. Distributor gear pulls cam to the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 57 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Cam buttons are more important for roller cams. If you look at the way flat tappets engage the cam the are trying to force it back into the block. The cam and distributor gear are trying to pull it back also. That being said, it would not hurt to put one in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
