Descriptions and notes

On late 77 and later engines, the pitch diameter on the camshaft, pinion gear and the breather valve gear was changed. These components are not interchangable with earlier-style components unless replaced in sets only. Late 77 and later gear sets are indentified by a circular groove machined in the outer face of the cam gear.
