That is the way it is supposed to be. The factory had the gear  pressing 
against the washer so that it wouldn't rotate separately.

I just  put a new gear on an NOS 304 cam.  The new gear has a slightly 
different  shape than the old GM one.  As a resutl I though the cam wasn't fully 
on  the gear so I gave it a little more.  Now the thrust washer doesn't 
spin  on the cam but rotates with it.  Have I screwed up big time?  Will  it be 
Ok to run it like that.  Any  suggestions?
