I am rebuilding a MerCruiser 4.3 V6 and the cam retainer plate was put on previously by someone with a strongarm instead of a proper torque, so I now need to replace it. I'm having a hard time finding one online, and no local stores can even find it listed. Any help would be great!! Thanks in advance!

Does your engine have an intermediate shaft? I think I have one for a non balance shaft motor just laying around from my repower...

It is non-balance. The balance shaft plates have 4 grooves right?
