After having nearly 42 thou machined off the cam sprocket it was within an acceptable end float reading.
Some new locktabs to get things going.
New gasket for back plate.
Some thread sealing tape for my brass inserts for the oil galleries.
Had take 1/4 inch off these counter sunk nf bolts to work correctly for bottom two bolt holes on back plate.
Upon initial fitment I still had 0.21 or 7 thou cam end float, so I ended up putting some ball joint shims behind the cam locktab, then I got the end float down a very acceptable 5 thou....
After all this alignment between the two timing gears was checked and is perfect.

Own some minis, break them, fix them, improve them, test them to the limit....
