Apart from what you said is there any other differences for that year?

In the engine ? No. The cam washer has never been on any microfiche for the 400 that i can find. Can't even find a part number for it but, if i have found one on a re-build i put it back.

 I dealt with Dennis at noxandrattles who supplies Stainless Parts for 400/4 He told me he had stripped lots of 400/4 engines and never came across a washer on the camshaft, Today he contacted meto let me know he was doing the Topend of a 400/4 and lo and behold there was a a washer on the camshaft.

Could it be a spacer shim, so only there if needed?

What do you mean by a washer on the cam?  The two bolts that hold the gear onto the camshaft don't have washers,  if they're there then somebody non-Japanese has put them there
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

Because someone set the machine wrong, so a shim was needed to correct the mistake ;)
