Default Re: Rebuilding my Flathead random questions

Sunday morning questions.

First up, gear that goes on the crank that spins with the cam, any tricks to getting it on? Do I need to heat it up or just coerce it with a hammer? I started tapping with a hammer but didn’t want to get too agressive before I consulted. The book just says “install the gear” essentially.

Second, what is this piece in the photo? Need to know before I go much further so I don’t have to back track.

Third, what about this hole in the rear crank bearing cap? It’s threaded. Nothing in my box of parts looks like it should fit. Red marker pointing to hole in photo.
