| Well the gear will push itself up if the dis is not in, did it take all the teeth off the crank or just lightly chew on em? |

| If it didnt remove any teeth all you have to do is clean it and run |

| The shims have probably fallen to the side blocking the pilot hole, try pulling the drive out and centering the shims sometimes you can lightly tap the drive in |

Why are you blaming the machine shop for something entirely your doing?
Looks like pilot-error to me.
Of course the distributor drive will ride up when you turn the crank. That is why you install the distributor as soon as you drop the drive in. This is the first thing you do to the case half before you start hanging parts. |

| im blaming them for a lot of things like charging me for new bearings but putting in old bearings not mocking for clearance like they were suppose to that i payed for. the only thing they did that i payed for was open up the block for the pistons i had to do all the rest yet payed for it to be done by them. |
