The TR3 engine that I am rebuilding came to me in boxes so assembly is not
the opposite of disassembly. The latest problem I have discovered is the cam
wheel was not attached to the cam shaft. From my web research I have learned
that the mounting holes on the wheel are off center so that the cam timing
can be adjusted by rotating the mounting holes. I can't find any marks that
would indicate which mounting holes were mates.  Does this mean I need to
obtain a degree wheel? If so what is the procedure to degree the cam? Any
secrets as to how to correctly mate the holes ?

Second question, the rotors in the oil pump are beyond the limits. NWBP's
offers the rebuild kit ( rotors only) and a complete pump at twice the price
of the rotors. Any recommendations as to whether the full pump is worth the
extra cost?
