I just checked one of those nuts in my garage.. yep, 27mm but mine was a little sloppy too.. I don't think it will be a problem with that little slop use a rattle gun..

I was going to suggest the nut is a 46 long, but 27 mm is more accurate.

A 6 point heavy socket would be my choice when a socket is a little loose.

The partslist states 18mm nut for camshaft.
Crankshaft has 25mm nut.

That is the shaft size, not the size for a socket.

Socket size for camshaft nut is 26 mm.

troyhamilton · « **Reply #15 on:** April 05, 2017, 01:57:10 PM »

fotoguzzi · « **Reply #16 on:** April 05, 2017, 02:08:01 PM »

Well my 26 mm did not fit, on 2different cam nuts I had in my hand last night, they were 27mm

pat80flh · « **Reply #17 on:** April 05, 2017, 05:09:43 PM »

1 1/16 ?

The 1 1/16 is a nice fit, and the one I reach for for this job.
