Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines camshaft gear

I had a new fiber camshaft gear as well
as a new stock camshaft pressed together
at a machine shop I deal with. After installing
the camshaft and aligning the timing marks.
I aligned my old gear with the keyway on the cam
and it looks like the new gear is a tooth off.
The old gear has a pronounced mark for the timing mark. Whereas the new gear has a small circle
dabded with white paint. Both gears have 54 teeth.
The same diamater. The new gear is a GM part #
3788508. Could the new camshaft be right and I'm
worried about nothing? Or should I realign the gear over I tooth. Any help would be appreciated.
The engine is a chevy 230.
Tnamks, rich

The marks should line up. If not you timing will be off. either the crank Or the Valve timing.

The marks on the cam and crank do line up.
Just out of curiosity, I placed the old cam gear
over the new using the keyway on the cam as
a reference and noticed that the new camgear looked to be a tooth off. So before buttoning up the oilpan and the cam cover I wanted to be sure
about this,
Thanks for the fast reply.
