We made 2 more here after seeing the first.
Using a 1" travel dial indicator attatched to a plate, bolted to the cam cover screw holes works just as well, and is not as spooky as some are leading you to believe.

Thanks for all the info...

If the cam side is in tolerence (??) Do I need to check the primary side? Will the Fueling tool do the primary side?

thanks in advance

So, you have less than .003" total runout?

What I mean to say was that if I measure the cam side and by some miracle I am within tolerence, should I check the primary side as well. B/C if I do have to check the primary side i'm not gonna buy the fueling tool i'll just buy a plain dial indicator.

We bore the cases to accept Axtell's 4 1/8" cylinder kit. 107".
Add a 4 3/8" crank to that and you have a 117".
Both of those powerplants work well, set up correctly.
