Many thanks for all the advice.
Very helpful to new Austin 7 owners!
I’m now struggling to remove the camshaft pinion gear.
End float movement is about 3mm!
I’m now tuning that Alan’s reply above is probably the most sensible approach - engine rebuild.
It seems odd to me when everything internal looks in new tip top condition, yet the camshaft looks like a 90 year old original.
Regards
Richard.
