[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 123374, member: 302"] Vic, I am in awe of your mechanical ability, but one question, when your are lapping gear tooth engagement into perfect mesh with diamond paste I can only assume that you are are removing eccentricity from the metal of the timing gears, how do you achieve this, and how many rotations does it actually take to remove perhaps 1/10th thou of eccentricity, and then as you say, when the engine warms it must introduce a running clearance again, I am not being critical of what you do, your workmanship looks to be beyond reproach, I just find this level of perfection and precision extremely interesting.
