timing gears install....

[original72]

just curious if there are any thrust bearings or buttons that should go on with a new timing chain..... want to get it right the first time while installing and degreeing the cam as this is a fresh engine that didnt have a cam when i got it....  also to help it is a 74 440 engine 30 over with a comp cams 488/491 lift cam with 9.5 to 1 compression.....

Thanks
Bill

just the gears and then the oil slinger on the end of the crank after you istall the crank sprocket

thanks for the info... and on the cam sprocket?

if its a one polt cam, then you just bolt it to the cam, use loctite on the bolt and make sure you use a good cam bolt washer as well  they are thick.  alot of people replace the bolt with a grade 8 bolt as well

the dist drive pulls the cam into the block so no button is needed
