Default Re: What’s up with this mercury crank gear (backwards?)

Your combination of parts should be good to go. As mentioned by others a quick check on cam movement if you have the valves and lifters out isn't a bad idea.


The only caution I have is I prefer to use an aluminum cam gear instead of a fiber gear. Many people run fiber gears with no issues, but every now and then I run into someone who has a fiber gear fail.


Bored&Stroked posted a nice write up of checking cam movement here (the whole build thread is long and very worth reading):
