Dkz Cam Into Xu10J2-T Motor Problem.......advice?

Recommended Posts

JR20516V

Whilst in the process of installing the DKZ cam into my 2 litre turbo CT engine i noticed that there was a part missing from inside....the best way to describe this part would be " camshaft thrust plate" and its job is to stop the cam from moving back and forwards. It is on the front cam cap and would be smaller than a matchbox and i guess 3 or 4 mm thick. It also would have a hole in it too. It would sit into one of the grooves on the actual camshaft when doing its job.

How the car has operated without this part has me beat so i would like to get it as per factory spec before placing motor into the 205.

 

Firstly....would anybody have one of these parts from a stuffed XU10J2T lump? Or can someone tell me the correct name of this part or even better....a part number.

 

Also....did anybody else have a problem when installing this 205 8v cam into the Citroen CT engine???

 

 

Any tips welcome guys !!! :}

The XU10J2TE "locks" the camshaft in place with the first(gearbox side) bearingcap. It has an extra groove which the alloy XU heads don't have, but the camshafts do. No problem needing to be solved.

Soooo....let me get this right !!! I am looking for a part that doesnt really exist? [i thought it strange not to find this part on a perfectly good working engine ] On the 3 grooves on the camshaft i thought it would need a "locking" device to stop it moving backwards and forwards....not so eh?

On the XU motors i think the part is called a Camshaft thrust bearing..

Any more tips most welcome......

you need to check if you actually need this part or not, my engine doesn't.

Yes, just look at this pic.

I was wrong about the extra groove, but the first bearing cap on an XU102J2TE head does lock it in place, just by being as wide as the camshaft is.

D6A is from the 405/BX

bulls*it as expllained above the cam thrust bearing is integral to the belt end bearing cap so if your cam isnt locked by it it cant be the original cam

Just to update this....... i have had a PM last week from a member on here saying he fitted the thrust bearing to the XU10J2TE lump and recently on start up he had the cam snap and one of the end caps kaput. :{

Anybody else heard of this?
