[QUOTE="redbloke1956, post: 30261, member: 2299"] Hi Big Ed, thanks for the time and effort you put into replying mate, I cannot yet think of any other explanation to this conundrum except that as you say, the thickness of the casting. This is my first Vin so I don't know if this sort of thing happens from time to time, I would be surprised though considering the relatively high quality of manufacturing that Vincents seem to be renowned for. Until I make some proper measurements, my estimate would be that the casting would have to be at least 1/4" thicker than normal if that is indeed the issue. I just found a photo that I took of the timing case before I dismantled everything (it was a mess) and the angle is not good but it looks as though the original mag pinion did mesh so I must have stuffed something up?........AGGHHH!!!! Why is it that nothing about a Vincent is ever simple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kevin[ATTACH]1153.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
