Hoo-boy, am I confused. My Nash book and my experience setting up cam gear/crank gear orientation on other motors tells me to have the dimples line up, close together.
HOWEVER
A video by John Twist from (sadly now defunct) University Motors showed how the cam gear should be 180 degrees out from that in order to be on compression stroke, #1 cylinder.
In other words, if I line up the dimples close together, it looks like it's on #4 compression stroke, ie; #4 rockers are loose, #1 are tight. From what I saw after an hour of screwing with it, he's right. Just looking to you out there who are more experienced to confirm that I need to line up the dimples but with the cam gear dimple AWAY from the crank gear dimple.
Why would they design it that way, anyway????
