So more pics, that really bothered me that I lost the ability to mount my crankshaft pickup, I figured if MC had just left material where the stock fuel pump boss was I could redrill and tap but it wasn't meant to be.......
I wasn't about to start filling material and welding as everything would end up like a pretzel, so I moved things
Actually you can leave all the material between the "Arrows"
MC in the future if you make this setup leave the material straight in theis area it won't hurt a thing to leave this heavy (and you could also make a "inspection hole" here also.
Now on to solving the dilemma
So I pulled another old cover out of the junk pile and used that for a jig.
I figured I'd mill the front side to match the height of the new cover installed
And having the cover milled to the correct height I welded on a pad to use the front hole and I'll add a second tapped hole also
And another cover to add to the "Sacrificed" to the timimg cover Gods
This will be the new mounting location
Now lastly this is how I saftied my cam gear on forever
I made a new washer .010 smaller than the counterbore for the gear.
I found two 8-32 socket head cap screws 1/2" long, I tapped two holes in the washer that line up with the keyway and oiling groove. I turned the keyway screw down to a point that engages in the keyway for 3/16" deep that keeps the washer from turning and I drilled a safety wire hole thru a 5/16 Grade 8 cap screw and saftey wired it all together, it will never come undone and I don't have to rely on Locktite.
