Camshaft flange 3rd hole question
What is the intended purpose of the third hole in the camshaft flange and does it's orientation matter in the timing of the large timing gear to small timing gear?[image][/image]

Re: Camshaft flange 3rd hole question
Think it was for indexing when doing the machining. It has no function but to make people ask why it is there. The cam gear does not care where it is installed as long as the two timing marks line up when the cam is installed, the gear is not indexed to the cam shaft.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!
