The fix was to take the crankgear to a friend who machined the radius in the crank gear. The problem was solved and my pullies lined up!...Phill

Would anyone here pull the timing cover off the motor before the heads? I sure wouldn't....unless there was something suspect there I knew about... In the end it's all how he fixes the problem. Within' 2 days of you having the issue, the problem has already been found, and the new parts are on the way. As long as there is a $0 bill to go with it, that's about as much as you could ask for out of anyone...

I know when my engine first got fired up and after about 45 minutes of warm up there was a tapping noise under the VC's and the #4 cam bearing spun and no oil was getting to the rovckers and the got hot and stuck to the shafts.... the machine shop that did the work bought me new crane gold roller rockers and the engine builder re did the whole setup .... no charge at all ...

Tom had a similar incident. The snout on the 440source crank was on the higher end of the tolerance and we installed the lower Milodon gear. When we went to install the blower hub it wouldn't go on. so he tried to tap the lower gear off with a 1lb ball peen hammer and a chisel and the gear split in half. little too much tension from the tight fit I guess, oops. the gear was hard to install originally. He got another lower gear and he polished down the snout on the crank.
