I have placed the crank cam and hydraulic lifters in the case. I have tightened my case. I painted my case with some industrial black machine paint. I have greased everything with white lithium grease. I have primed my hydraulic lifters, torqued/loctited my rods Made sure everything was balanced and super cleaned. I have also installed my after market 26mm pump made for flat cam gear, this just clears the shroud. I was careful to set the crank/cam and dist to correct time. I then turned the crank to see the # 1 exhaust valve cam lobe goes up with the # 1 rod after this. I have used Gasgaginch type sealer on both halves of the case until tacky and then bolted them together. I used permatex sealant for the cam cover. I will now put some black epoxy type sealant on the outside of the case on top of the paint. This stuff is as tough as epoxy but can be peeled off, this makes a better seal , keeps oil from leaking from the more open areas. Did I miss anything ? I've done this before but I am just unsure of cam to crank to dist relationship. I made sure the crank was set to # 1 compression stroke while the dist and gear is set to #1. I then placed the crank gear dimples to the case halve center then placed the cam gear between the two crank gear dimples. Is this correct ? 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 ? I do not wish to screw up this time, now that I found my previous gear problem.
