In response to MikeB
Ya, the cam should be able to go in until it's at least flush to the block. If not, then the plug is driven in too deep or there is something else hanging the cam up. When installed, a bit of the cam does go into the gear to centre the gear on the cam so it does stick out a little when everything is installed.
Your gear goes on just like it's pictured with the thrust washer on the outside of the ridge on the back of the gear. The gear with washer should push back against the block without any issues which will hold the washer in place.
The button should be adjusted until it touches the cover with a certain clearance. Maybe 3 or 5 thou or something like that. You likely don't need it with a flat tappet cam but it might make you feel better with it in there.
