Ok, so is this specific only to the turbo models or true to all things 617? I was of the impression they were gear driven like the 616 until now, I will be soon (hopefully) pulling my engine for it's transplant and if this is something I need to look over while it's out, I want to make sure it gets done. This will be the engine's 3rd known transplant, and I have no past knowledge of where the engine origionally came from.
