New Timing Gear installation
-------------------------
Is there some trick to getting the new gear on, 
======================

I usually put the gear on a light bulb for about an hour to heat it up 
(fiber too).
Then I use a longer stud with a machined washer and nut to draw it on 
without trying to screw into the cam...just pull on the cam.
Nice and slow and in control.

Studebaker used a pusher-set, that looks like the crank pushr... had I thought of it... I would have given you mine too...
Jeff's suggestion about heating the gear is correct..

DO NOT under ANY circumstances- hit/tap/drive the cam gear on with a hammer...You'll just drive the welch-plug out of the rear of the block....
