     Hi, just replacing my cam tensioners and bearings on my TC88

    The rear Outer bearing came as a kit with bearing, shim inner and a little O ring. All is clear but can see where the O ring goes in relation to the cam. 

    even the manual doesnt mention it. cant see where it fits and its holding me up. Any ideas? Sorry i dont have pictures.

    By the way, its a 04 carby and it had the crappy inner cam bearings made by INA. Now has torringtons.

    Tensioners were less than 20% worn. at 54k km's. prob didnt need changing, but got done because i had already stripped it down. Adjustable rods made the job easier
