Good tip on the oiling, but I believe you are incorrect on the Comp Cam gears. They are definitely not cast. They are hardened and require either a bronze or steel gear. I have the remains of a 351 that ran a stock dist gear for a total of 11 miles before it destroyed the engine! It was an expensive lesson.


Just checked on my new engine since the timing cover is still off. Also with a little good luck my timing gear is not solid and I was able to get an Allen through it to the plug. I can see where it will help. The spray/stream will be only an inch or so from the gear and in direct line with it. Nice tip!
