(I'm resending this with a better subject line.  My goof on the first 
one.)

Hey All,

        I've may have a bit of a problem.  I've been re-assembling the TR-6 
engine the last week, and I think I may have goofed with the "Bush-Oil 
Pump Drive" gear, PN 149776.  This is the gear that sits under the 
Distributor and is driven by the camshaft.

        Well, when I put it in I just dropped it into place and gave no thought 
to its position relative to Piston #1 TDC!  I'll bet anything I should 
of.  The timing cover is now on as well as the sump cover.  I haven't 
looked at the distributor yet, but I'll bet I screwed up.

        Now for the question, how do I get this gear out without removing the 
timing cover to get at the camshaft?  Should I just be able to left it 
out?

        I thought about this last night while lying in bed, thinking about what 
I had done this weekend.  I couldn't bring myself to go down to the 
garage to see if I was in trouble.

Thanks,
JHD IV
