[Vwdiesel] More problems

[William A. Thompson]

Very good suggestion ...it would need good even
contact all around.

I would install the sprocket as close as possible
to as it would be AS installed and running ...
with regard to the positioning with relation to
the cam. I might not turn the sprocket on the cam
during the process though ... might hide
mismatchings, high spots and gaps by smearing.

    ...Bill
