Ok Gentlemen, I am sure that someone will know this. I just can not find a way to make it work. I am rebuilding a 60 model 289, finished the heads, bottom end and was working my way around to the timing set and this left me with a couple problems/questions..
1.What is the best way to get both the timing gears back on.
The shop manual talks about a special installer tool that I wish I had.
2. Do both gears go on at once?
I am getting the engine hub installer and a dial kit, to set the crank shaft end play, from a vendor up in York at the meet.
3. Who is a good source to get thrust washers from?
My original crank was replaced by a NOS unit so I know the end play will need some work.
I know this may be engine 101 for some but it is my first time deep inside the workings of the Stude motor. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
