Alright mine was not tabbed. I've got to drive over to a mans house now and beat the $#!+ outta him cuz he bout cost me my motor... Anyways, it didn't hurt anything. ( except the dowel pin) it was layin in my timing cover... Do I need it? Or I can I throw it away? Apparently it's been out for awhile n I haven't noticed any changes... I'm glad my front seal went out so I caught this before it did get bad

imo I would still try to put the dowel pin in. There is alot of slop in the bolt holes of the rear case, might move around and cause some unwanted rubbing. While your at it loc tite all the bolts in the case that you can get to. As for the timing, i would go with the one hrd posted. I did the 5 hour cuss fest one and plan to recheck using that method when the weather gets alittle nicer or when a buddy can get his truck out of my shop.
