I was hoping the one you suggested from jegs was a plug and play one???

looks good,whats all involved with that one going in?








Mike, The Jegs unit, like all the others on the market will envolve "grinding" the idler button on the backside of the dual idler, were it makes contact with the block, the reason for "grinding" the idler button is that the floating dual idler gears thrust themselves towards the block when they are rotating, the rear thrust idler, dosen't rotate, the idler gear rotates on the button, under load (high RPM) the dual idler wants to contact the block, determining the proper spacing, by "grinding" the button keeps the gears in line with one another, the upper thrust button on the cam. keeps the cam from walking forward, by contacting the front cover, the cut of the gears, wants them to walk in different directions, thus the purpose of the thrust buttons, while it may sound complicated, it's rather straight forward once you study the parts, and assemble them properly,....the Jegs kit has assorted index bushings for the cam dowel, so that you can index the drives lash/spacing, so as to not put undo stress on the drive/cam/crank,....I wonder if the "cat" kit included this?,.....$59 for a gear drive? ....even a sm blk Chevy quality unit is $200 minimum from PJ
