When he got the engine back it would not run. Schwalms then sent a mechanic out to the house and they found the timing gear was not set correctly. After that the car has run great.The other friend in our club has not found the problem yet.

I had my local machinist build my motor and Schwalms did the mains. When my machinist started to put my motor together he noticed that the indent in the cam gear was in the wrong place, brand new gear from Snyders, he set top dead center for me and I put the rest together and it started on first crank. I would not totally blame the machinist on everything as most of the parts probably come from China, point being how can you get a timing mark off, wouldn't you think there is a standard way of setting up the procedure?
