The 3/8 header bolts are great in this application with there reduced heads, even can be found with 3/8 wrench heads..They are usually a higher grade fastener also. Don'T forgot to add a little Blue locktite.
hey thanks guys,yes this is a three bolt gear.i tried the header bolt also, but mine have 7/16 head on them and the little flange also hit the button. i guess i'll try to notch the button for the allen heads fit.you'd think that there would be some kind of info on this.

I provide an extra center section with my billet timing chain covers just for checking end play. With this cover you just bolt it all together and then slide a dial indicator into the slot and measure the end play directly.
As for the cam button issue, I've never found a cam button that works right off the shelf. I've tried them all and they all need a trip to the machine shop before they're correct.

How about this one? I bolted mine on the other day just for a quick test fitting & it seemed to work fine...
BTW Your Timing cover is a work of art...

If you are usihg a stock timing cover you will have to ding it out to get some clearance more than likely...

I use the Crane gold button, stock type chrome timing cover. There's a recessed hole in the back of my Mezeire water pump so I cut a piece of tubing that goes in that hole and butts up against the cover to keep it from flexing. Simple and cheap.

Andy, Give us the low down on that oil pump cover. I am sure you probably machined it. Everything you seem to post you have made, and it is always super nice. Beep
Thanks. Yes I did make that oil pump cover. It is designed to go straight to #12 lines for a remote filter. Nobody else makes anything like that so I had to design my own.
