Looking for CB360 thrust washer for cam

Stick a feeler gauge in between the end of the camshaft and the bottom part of the head support there on the right side.
Spec is 0.07-0.3 mm (0.003"-0.012")
Washers are available in 1.0 and 1.1 mm

Put washers on (rider's) right side of cam only, not on left.

And sorry, they are no longer available from Honda.

I'm just curious - If a guy figured out what thickness of thrust washer was needed to bring things into spec, if he took his cam with him isn't there a good chance a bearing supplier could fix him up with a suitable thrust washer?

awesome, i have a few feeler gauges. Thats way easier than a dial gauge. I don't know of any bearing suppliers, any other location i can get a thrust washer at?

cool. I guess i would need to know the outside diameter, the inside diamter and then just the thickness i need correct?

Just have it machined out of steel or should it be something special. Sorry for the dumb questions, never really had something made for me before.

Once you figure out what thickness you need to bring it to spec JUST TAKE THE CAM WITH YOU to the bearing supplier chances are he has something on the shelf or can order it. Nothing will need to be special machined. It is ok to stack a couple washers to get right clearance.

He can get the other needed measurements from the cam and he will know what material is needed for the application.

Most of these guys (bearing suppliers) are very good at this type of problem solving.
