pooch I plan on pulling the gear if I can. I'd be happy to mark where I think the timing mark should be based on 3 teeth from the keyway, align the cam with the phantom dot I found, then look to see how far off either is from where it should be if I have a dot on the other side. Right now the cam dot doesn't align with anything other than the phantom dot I found which may be one he added? Just fyi the cam gear is pretty much flush with the face of the crank gear. The face of it is not out from the face of the crank gear.
