[GOSFAST]

I brought this back (maybe for the last time?) to show the finished products.

You can see in the photo below the (.247") pin pressed into the cam and the corresponding hole in the cam gear (.248"/.249") to line it all up. If you look (very) closely you can also see the cam bolt holes are now "slotted" slightly to move the gear where it's needed. These particular pieces are for the "blown" unit, cam is now "in" where we want it when installed as seen.

At this point for this build we are done.

(Add) Not trying to say this entire procedure a "must-do" in order for the unit to run, if all is installed correctly (timing marks aligned) it will run, but when chasing HP (especially on the Flatheads) it's really the only way! And ALL builds should at least be "cam-degree" checked, this is "mandatory" here. It isn't all that difficult to just check where the cam's at.

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. I'm adding this to show that when we've reached this stage it is really simple to go a step further and still move the cam more by simply drilling ALL 5 cam gear holes 13/32" and installing a "pill" (photo below also), same ones (most times) we use for the Chevy's we build, simple! No nonsense deal!
