Ok, I got a 27mm deep socket. I'll go out and try that straight away.

The attached file is what I mean about upside down. The view is of the cam tower from the front of the engine. The semicircle is down in the groove, and there is an offset on the outside that fits into the notch on the cam gear. The key has an offset and it could force the gear to go either cw or ccw. I am afraid I forced the gear the wrong way.

How do I know if it is tensioning properly? I see the rail pop into place as I spin the engine.

sixto - point taken - I will look into that.
