 This is how I've been doing it for years. It works very nice as you don't 
have to worry about dropping any shims inside the engine when indexing the 
drive. I learned about this trick on the 2nd engine I ever rebuilt, and 
incorperated it into all the engines I rebuilt after. The big trick is 
remembering which type of engine you're rebuilding, as I do both type1 and 
type3s here.
