I need some sage advice on this. I'm in the process of changing the timing gears. Prior to removing the old ones I turned the crank so that the key was at 6 o'clock, the dizzy rotor was pointing in the general direction of #1 piston and the lines on the gears were "close" to being in alignment. My question is, do I put the new gears back on in the same position, as was my original intent, or do I attempt to align the marks on the gears more closely. Per the Bentley you should be able to draw a straight edge through the center of both shafts and have it go through the lines on the gears. This is not currently the case. So, do I mess with it or leave well enough alone and slap it back to togther the way it is? The car ran well, although I always felt it lacked some of the responsiveness of a friends I have driven.
