'88 case with '97 flywheel assembly. What do you guys do to get the cam cover to fit? 1) Turn down the pinion nut 2) cut pinion bushing a little deeper or Both. Any advice. Asking for a friend.

 

Not sure it's gonna work. I believe the early covers oil ports are different than the later.. I suggest you call a local indy that is also a machine shop..

 

Thanks. I think all Evo pinion shafts are end oilers, and so are the cam covers. Early shovelheads had side oiler holes, I believe. Just wanted to see if anyone has put one together. Clearance of the pinion gear nut is the only issue I can foresee, but I'll do more research on it. Just looking at putting together a swapmeet special engine to learn and have some fun. Covid thing has stopped all local swapmeets, and I have no idea when they will pick up again.

 

Just finished truing flywheels numbers look good. 001 at crank .003 at pinion race ...monted them in brand new s&s case took another raeding at pinion number was high .007 .....any ideas why
