Before removing the camshaft, turn the crankshaft until the correct mark described below on the larger gear is aligned with the beveled tooth on the smaller gear. The larger gear may have only a single punch mark, or it may have two punch marks, one each near an A and C. It also may have only an A and a C, no punch marks. Cushman is very specific that there is a punch mark adjacent to the letter A or C and that it should be used. However, there are timing gears marked with only an A and C, and no punch marks at all. If your large gear has a single punch mark it should be aligned with a tapered tooth on the smaller gear. If you have an "A" and a "C: with adjacent punch marks, the punch mark adjacent to the A should be aligned. If you have only the A and the C the A should be aligned. The "C: is used for model 34 and 39 engines used in Trucksters that rotate in the opposite direction. It is important that you verify exactly how the gears are aligned so that you can put them back in the same. After you verify the gear alignment pull the camshaft out of the engine. Remove the valve push rods and mark the proper location for each one. Rotate the crankshaft and remove it from the engine.




As you can see, there are some variations on cranks. But, it is very important to get them right not only to make it run, but if way off, crank and cam could connect with each other.
