    Hello forum,
    I am having issues with this installation of timing chain gear set! I have purchase 3 timing chain sets (returned them) and kept this last one ! This engine is a standard bore , 455 sf block and I was cleaning it up with new internals but can’t seem to figure out why this sprocket will not like up with camshaft bolt holes ! Any ideas or recommendations( advice )?



    Also ,
    I’m trying to get this information about the camshaft from board member I purchase this engine from .Camshaft has these numbers on the front of this pic I am uploading .
    Thanks

    I am not sure if a standard one lines up! I order two from O’Reilly ( with a different picture of the one they sent ) and I order this last one from summit racing with the sprocket I’m picture having 3 holes instead of two

    It only goes on one way. Looks like you have it the other way.

    No, that's a grind number, meaning several different camshafts share the same lobe profile and centerline. You've got a Buick cam, there something else going on with the gearsets you've been getting.
