Big Block Gear Drive On A Slant?

What’s wrong with that???? That looks about as good as it gets right there.

As long as the bearing in the idler can get lubrication I’d send that so fast your head would fall off.

That turned out very well.

As for cam thrust I think you’ll need a cam button of sorts to control it.

I’m excited for this thing to run. It will hurt some feelings.

So you think it'll be ok without a bearing there? That's how all the dual idler sets are that I've seen. I guess I could bore the gear out and press a bushing in it. I'm not sure that's necessary.
