You don't want the sealer to take up ANY space, so if you let it set up too long the case halves will be farther apart than they were when the case was line bored. Thus the bores will be neither round nor the right size > Did I miss anything ? I've done this before but I am just unsure of > cam to crank to dist relationship.

As long as the 2 dimples fall between each other that is correct. Then you have to get the dist drive gear installed right so that it is correct for a type 3. Once it is in correctly, put the distributor in, too. This will keep the drive gear from being pushed up and jammed by the motion of the crank as you turn it to install other stuff. > I just have an itch in my brain on the timing , maybe I did good but > want assurance. Is there a better way to do this ? Did I miss anything ? You DOseem to have the right attitude. ;-) This is certainly the time to find and correct any oversights. Did you get anything balanced? CW crank? Full flow filter? > I do not wish to screw up this time, now that I found my previous > gear problem. Did you find someone with an assortment of cams to let you try? Did you then put each one in and rotate them until you found one that was not loose but would not lift from the case when you turned the crank? If so, you should be fine. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
