Robyn,

I have tried to attach some low res photos of the crank gear drive set up, as well as a shot of teh other gears in the cam drivetrain. You can see the short quill that presses into the nose of the crank and then gets the gear pressed onto it. In the last photo you can see the crank gear sitting in place on the snout with the two pins lined up in the slots in the gear. I am still trying to figure out how I am going to make sure it is all lined up before I press it together.

I should have some photos of the geartrain mocked up on the front of the engine next week, as I am going to have to figure out how to shim everything so that the backlash between all the gears is correct when I bolt the cylinder head on and install the cam. There are shims under the cam carrier to allow for adjustment there, but it is the head gasket thickness that will set the backlash for that particular pair of gears.
