I've got a 1965 1300 engine, it's stripped down to the case but not split open. I can move the camshaft forward and back (from front to back) in the engine, but there appears to be no play in the bearings I would say it moves about 5-6mm.
Is this normal? I'm guessing probably not. I'm currently not in a position to split the case and take a better look inside.
I am looking to replace or rebuild this engine next year. In it's current state any ideas how much time I have left?
