installing ta performance timing set. Am I timing it correctly?

Is this correct? The dot for zero advance on the crank gear lines up with the keyway.

I pm'd Nick Micale and he confirmed that I installed it correctly dot to dot. Anyway it was nice to see that there weren't any broken teeth on the original cam gear but the tensioner spring sure was weak and quite a bit of slack in the chain. The TA timing set fit very nicely.

Just a little note to grind down and flat level the center tip of where the cam buttom face is rested on

I took care of that today. I could feel the point in the center of where the cam button had been wearing. I won't have time to put it back together until next weekend. Still need to pull the oil pan off and clean it up.

Get a roller cam button if you have not already.

Got the roller cam button. I also cleaned up the inside of the front cover where the original crank seal had been staked. Checked for slack in the oil pump driveshaft and it checks good. I will prime it per the instructions on gnttype.
