Post subject:  Slop in the cam timing gear?

s there supposed to be any "slop" in the cam timing gear on a Slant? I'm adding a double roller gear set. I set the gear in the cam dowel and went to line it up and realized there's a fair amount of wiggle room with bolt and the washer as to where the gear actually sits. I've never done this before, so maybe this is a "duh" answer, but I didn't see anything about it when I looked it up in the manuals or online. Just want to make sure I'm not forgetting something important. I carefully labeled everything when I disassembled it, and this is the only bolt and washer in the "timing gear" bag, and they do fit the cam, but I've made plenty dumber mistakes before.

Thanks!

That big round recess in the cam gear? The cam fits snugly in there when the bolt is tight.

Thanks. I'm an idiot and the cam was too far in the motor. Doh!
