[QUOTE="davidd, post: 88501, member: 1177"] A job well done! The only surprise I ran into the last time I did a Comet timing chest was that the rear follower spindle was too long. I set all the spindles to the height of the large idler stud with the ET173 installed because that is where the bottom of the steady plate rests. All the other spindles (with their various washers) are set to that same height so the plate is flat. When I installed the rear follower spindle it would not go in far enough. This is very annoying with everything hot! The spindle was hitting the cylinder stud. The photo below shows the new spindle on top and the old one below: [ATTACH=full]17929[/ATTACH] It is worth looking at before installing the replacement. A bit of grinding may be necessary.
