I thought so too....but mine still rubbed, and you saw the end result of that fiasco.

machining the pump cover and then the crank gear should make it fairly trouble free.

I'm now VERY comfortable with my machined crank gear on my double roller. Before, I only had a machined oil pump cover, and it was damn close to rubbing with it being machined.

The bevel added to the crank gear made me worry free now about running it.

I find it funny that Zooomer/ZZP said on CGP that running a machine oil pump cover would cause more problems than running two front cover gaskets...they recommended only running two front cover gaskets...now they sell machined oil pump covers...how long before they start selling correctly machined double roller timing chain sets with the modified crank gear? But wait...there is no problem with the double rollers.

Only a select few have this issue.

I saw that also and just thought whatever I guess. That is the result of letting your customers be the ginnie pigs.
