Beautiful work George.

Hello Steve, and thank you for your reply and guidance. The engine is one based on George Brinell's plans for the Ford inline 6 cylinder. The builder did not put a key in the crankshaft gear or camshaft gear, and made not reference marks. Georges plans do show a diagram for the crankshaft...
