the little things

I've been doing a lot of researching and reading on this site and I'm coming across some issues that haven't really been concluded such as the timing situation concerning the difference in 63 and 64 cam gears, flywheel/tranny/starter combination. and a ton of other stuff. some of the posts touch on these issues, but after reading, no one has said "use this/problem solved" I for one am going to do this swap into my 89 quest. No parts yet because I want info. first. Need to know what I'm doing before starting. So far basic 64 block reconditioning with a .20 bore and install of oil squirters( where to source them from and any clearance issues?) 2.4 crank w. 150mm eagle rods and wiseco pistons. working on acc's. now.... I'm off topic! basically if those of you are running this combo on a rwd platform can chime in about any issues you ran into and with what part you solved them with would be greatly appreciated.

http://projectzerog.com/sohc-dohc.shtml Should cover the cam gear issues. It is one of the sites I haven't updated yet, but is next on the list. Should be updated to include this if it doesn't already by the end of the week.

flywheel/tranny/starter combination.

http://projectzerog.com/transmissions.shtml should cover the flywheel starter issue. I might be wrong though. Tell me what I should add.

and a ton of other stuff. some of the posts touch on these issues, but after reading, no one has said "use this/problem solved"

The site can only be as complete if you guys give me a hand pointing out what I need to add and where.

I'm about to add info on the oil squirters on this page: http://projectzerog.com/sirius_engines.shtml

Hope that helps.

Yes and No. take for instance the first site you linked me to regarding cam gear and timing. That link tells and labels the parts that will need to be changed but it doesnt state what to replace them with. The tranny was very informing because it gave me choices to go with that WILL work. I assume they've been tested and proven. I am personally going to use the rx-7 tranny/trooper bellhousing. Stock tranny on it's way out.

Okay, taking another look,crank timing sprocket/gears need changing, so the g63 cam gear stays in place. what crank sprocket/gears to go with?

You dont change the crank sprocket, you change the cam gears.. but you don't have to. The stock 4G63 cam gears work fine, but you will have to remark them. I'll post info up about this later tonight.
