Is that a JP or Rollmaster? That crank gear looks just like my JP I am putting on now. I read this thread and subscribed a while back and I checked mine with a steel straight edge across the cam gear and crank gear face and it was perfect, ground my pump cover down with the angle grinder and even without the double gaskets I cleared the pump cover. Now I'm worried cause I didn't look to see if it was hitting the crank, good thing I'm lazy and haven't put the front cover back on yet.
