[QUOTE="cunning plan, post: 592924, member: 4090"] When you are rebuilding an engine, is there any benefit to waiting for the case to be assembled before you install the distributor drive gear? I have seen a couple of videos of people building engines where they purposely wait until the case is assembled before awkwardly dropping in the distributor drive gear shims using a long screwdriver and wobbling it around etc. To me, if you have the case open, it makes logical sense to install the gear before you close it all up. So why do these experienced engine builders wait until it is all assembled? What am I missing? :sign0009: [/QUOTE]
