Thanks, and Yes I agree, I am not sure what their philosophy is knowing that themselves. I had thought about this, and their design (I also am not a believer in having the extra timing cuts in the crank sprocket, (hex adjust is good, and a crank sprocket specific), considered billet, but I thought at this point in the game I'm not seeing enough power for it be an issue, my concerns became allingment and degreeing.
This subject interested me because I had isssues w/crank sprocket alignment to cam sprocket, had several talk w/engineers at cloyes, and had to get some maching done (about .012 of crank sprocket for alignment, PIA), that is when I became aware of thier hardening etc.
