I will thank you. .There are a couple things yet. First for future reference.
If you use C clamps to hold the cam gears they work great there is just enough room behind the backing plate
To get the head of the C clamp behind it
And the worm gear you place the. Swivel head on front side of the gear
In between two of the holes and carefully tighten it down. It will not move. took me a while to come up with that plan but it worked. Also I'm concerned about getting the right tension on the belt and leaving the the
Tentioner loose and starting the engine
So it will self adjust concerns me.
What I'm asking is how in the world do you
Tell if it's between . 03-. 33 that's gotta be. A special tool for that?
