I just went out there and rotated it around 3 times, everything seems fine, smooth and no noises. One thing I took advantage of is the fact that I have the vacuum pump off, I checked the timing marks after my CCW rotation, then I carefully and slowly began a controlled CW rotation until I saw the timing device begin to move. It was at about 2 degrees into the CW rotation. Sort of a red neck timing chain stretch check, like we used to do on the gassers by watching the distributor rotor. Whuddya think?
