trett, saw your question in chat. this is what needs to happen for double roller.

yes that keyway chamfer should be 1/32nd past the tits of the keyways, and the recess'd pocket must be squared.
o
n the sets ive measured that recess is the correct ID at 1.810/812 but the ****ers use too large of a nose radius cutting tool so the corner must be squared or you need to spend an hour with a file radiusing the crank shoulder to match...

the cam gear is only ground and deburred. if you do not change the pocket depth, ive found the zzp/comp cams like between .022-.028 and the intense/cam motions tend to be a hair more at .024-.030 depending on yer production tollerances....even if you guess at .025 at most youll have 6 thou chain/sprocket misalignment...far better than the 14-28 thou ive seen with un modified sets...

ive been testing for years but i have two motors with dbl rollers...properly machined...with an un ground pump cover...and just 1 OEM timing cover gasket and i still have .020" pin clearance at the pump cover....with the chain slid all the way over towards it

now dont that sound like the way something should be assembled? lol

sure slapping it on works....its far from ideal but it works....i just think that a few extra dollars of machine work and a few more hours of time is well worth it with a 200$ insanely critical engine part...

regards, James

Dat's not really what I thought he was asking.

Crank gear is very tight on teh RM's. Tap on with a rubber mallet and then use the old gear on the crank to beat it home.
 
yeah it is very tight, I was wondering if the inside needed to be machined open more so its not as tight? I guess you could take off like a cnt hair and it would slide better, but im sure a good file would sufice
 


I was thinking of pulling the ol grinder out ;) and the pink break in oil is from an edelbrock cam I did in my truck, better than no oil at all
 


Don't think thats the vett clutch. Pretty sure its a 98-02 v6 camaro clutch. the V8 clutches won't work on the 3800.
