    My Komori S226P's 2 CAMs are out of timing. The gear side is running normally, but the operator side is out of timing. Please advise.

    cam's out of timing? not sure how this would/could ever happen, unless its to do with the perfectaa, which i know very little about

    which cams are they? i assume the cams the clinders run on?

    They are the on the main metering rolls (operator side). Instead of coming up and down in sync, they are now out of sync (one up, one down).

    I think you are talking about the ink ductor rollers. Is the problem on both units?

    I beleive that press is from the 80's, and I think you have an early bareback system, or it convensional dampeners. My guess is convensional becasuse you talk of cams. So i would say you have a broken shire pin on the shaft that connects the operator side to the gear side. A picture is worth a thousand words.
