Installation notes

Compatibility
IMPORTANT: This component fits ONLY engines with gear-driven camshaft. Willys MB, Ford GPW and early M201 had chain drive and use a different system (thrust washer). Late CJ-2A (from mid-1946), CJ-3A, M38, CJ-3B, and later models with L-134 or F-134 engine have gear drive. Check before installation whether your engine has gears or a chain.
Historical context
From mid-1946, Willys changed from chain drive to gear drive for the camshaft of the L-134 engine, a system also used in the later F-134 overhead valve engine. This thrust plate is an essential component of that gear drive system.
