B20 Cam Break In Procedure

Ah! Sorry to confuse you! The distributor drive gear is actually UNDER the distributor itself, so you put it in first! you probably gave yourself quite a headache trying to put it in after.

If the concept of adding notes after the instruction confused you (notes on how to install the distributor gear after instructions to install the distributor), I'm sorry, reading must be new to you! Try picking up a book some time.

Try being a smart-ass to someone who hasn't built engines all his life. It was a semi-rhetorical question aimed at giving the author of that post a chance to clarify, which he did.
As for reading, I teach auto tech. I read.

New step: take out spark plugs and turn engine over. Apparently this is a good way to prime the fuel and get the oil spread around?

On a freshly assembled engine, I would recommend against this.

On a used engine that's being brought back into service, it won't hurt.

Cool! I ended up just firing it up, and all went well (it seems!)
