I got my +4* advance gear yesterday. I'm a little confused. It's the one that fits on the crank. I really thought the advance was achieved using a different timing gear (the big one at top of the cam plate).
This is what Bob Wood shows on his site:
What I received from Andrews:
17t crank gear p/n:216323
On Andrews website, that part number is listed as the +4* advance gear.
Now I'm a little curious because Andrews p/n: 216015 is the 34t rear cam gear and looks like what Wood has on his site as being sold as +4 advance gear.
Wonder if I bought the wrong part.

I would guess it could be done either way, I always thought it was the 17T gear. The gear in the pic is the older style chain set up, the splines and teeth are different.

Vic,
If your gear has a keyed groove like the one in the pic, it will not fit your 07. For 07 you would need a splined gear if going on the cam or a "D" cut gear if going on the crankshaft. See pic:

Something doesn't feel right about this. Thats a quarter to show size. The part # on the package does not match the one I bought. I wanted andrews p/n 216323, what the packaging says is p/n:288020.

Appreciate that pic, Paul. Thanks. I am waiting on Mr. tech guy @ Andrews to get back from lunch. Want to make sure what I have is the right part before I tear it open. Not that I get to ride that much but....

Where I have my workshop/storage space is in a very small strip mall whose neighbor is an auto-mechanic. I'm going to swipe some from him. 
I have a pretty good repore with him and he's given me open reign to his shop. He's even offered to give me a key to the shop so I can go down there afterhours. I turned that offer down.
I appreciate the info, Paul. Thanks.
Red/Rounder,
I was going to do the gaskets. Both dealers I went to had no clue what I was asking of them. After I asked the first parts guy for a .030 head gasket, all he said was "why?". I knew to stop right there. I'll check the catalogs.
Thinking about it, that means removing the TB to pull each head. Now I'm getting into an area that if I pull the head, I'd rather send it out for a proper port job and machining to bump compression. Remember, I'm doing this on a very tight budget and am unemployed to boot.
I wanted to do adj. rods it's just not in the budget right now. I know it would be something I'll end up doing once cash starts flowing in because then I'll be able to do the heads to compliment the cams....and if I tear it down that far chances of a 103" or bigger is possible. I'm eying the S&S 106 and am paying attention to others on here currently doing it. In due time. I know the TW6 would work very well in a 103. Not sure how they would work in the 106".
I'm just so tired of looking at these cams on my nightstand every night when I fall asleep. lol

You are right, they are superb in my 103" build.
