thanks for the thrust washer reminder Ron.
If i did get it off i was figuring it must screw in with some beefy washers because (big breath) in my manual it shows both methods sub-listing the oil pump removal which has different steps to the oil-pump removal in the general engine disassembly...
at any rate ive been working in both directions, removal of cog or cam.
I have also done another intersting thing in posting to a maths
forum for a formula one how many turns until assembly timing marks line up.
I've accepted the marks, post assembly, hunt, but if it is a low enough number, like 76, it might be worth the exercise to proof against a one tooth timing advance.
On our 27 rev the crank marks lined up one tooth off and other cogs 2 teeth off. It has an aftermarket turbo, advancing stuff one tooth can overcome wear and timing issues, who knows whats been done in the last 20yrs. I just would have liked the reassurance of assembly timing marks ling up
