Don't want to bring up the uncle Tony battle about running pistons backwards again but I'm sure it's coming



Sorry, didn't realize there was battle. I did search and found only a post or two.

There have been more than "a post or2" from him on you tube on the subject.

And a firestorm from members of sites such as FABO among members picking him apart

I searched backwards piston. Didn't search for uncle Tony.

Thanks. I'll edit the previous post.

You won't have to look hard, he's all over you tube.
Lots of controversy over what he posts.....

Pistons corrected. Ready to go in again. Installed old cam gear and spun the cam and oil pump for a bit. Turns much more freely now.

Was going to install the new rollmaster timing chain and the cam sprocket doesn't seem right. Factory has a boss that centers the gear on the cam. New gear has nothing. Am I missing something here? Nothing to center the new cam gear on the cam. Nothing to hold it in the right position forward and aft.

Eta: Does the chain center the cam gear?

No, Sum-Ting-Wong, chain can't center it. Part# on that T-kit?

The center holes look different sizes too?

Nope, It looks like you have the wrong gear. Or at least one that was not finished with the recess for the cam. Center hole still looks large to me?

Picture shows the rim that isn't there. May just have to buy another. I'll wait till Monday to see if they respond. It is outside the return period so don't blame them if they don't accept a return.
