And So It Begins....
I thought I would add this here, too since this is my engine build thread. I got the gear drive completely figured out. Now all I have to do is get the now engine side of the crank gear chamfered, since using the gear drive required flipping the gear around backwards from the usual direction, find true TDC with a piston stop and get the degree wheel on it so that I can also correctly locate the camshaft at TDC as well and remark both gears. The gears ended up with only about .004" play and that equates to less than one degree of timing slop. Much less than a freshly broken in chain.
