Prevent Camshaft Walk with Crower Phenolic Buttons

Camshaft walk is a common issue in high-performance Small Block Chevy (SBC) engines, often caused by the forces exerted by the timing chain and gear drive. The Crower Cams Camshaft Thrust Button is the solution you need to keep your camshaft properly positioned. Measuring .810 inches in length, this phenolic button acts as a buffer between the camshaft and the timing cover, preventing unwanted forward movement.

Why Use a Phenolic Thrust Button?

• Heat Resistance: Phenolic material is highly resistant to heat, preventing the button from softening or deforming during long races.
• Reduced Friction: Designed to minimize wear on the timing cover and camshaft nose, ensuring smooth operation.
• Optimal Length: The .810 inch length is specifically sized for SBC and V6 applications to ensure correct clearance.
• Engine Longevity: By preventing cam walk, you maintain accurate valve timing and prevent damage to the engine block and timing components.

Maintaining proper camshaft endplay is vital for consistent engine performance. If your cam is allowed to "walk" forward and backward, it can cause erratic timing and excessive wear on your timing chain, gears, and thrust plate. This Crower Cams thrust button is a simple, effective insurance policy against these issues. Whether you are running a street rod or a dedicated race car, this component is essential for a reliable valvetrain. Keep your engine running at its peak with high-quality components from GGCRACING.
