Hint:
Another way to mesh the main gear is to run a thin strip of newspaper between the
gears. With the newspaper in place, force the bottom bearing block all the way toward
the engine, and lightly tighten the lower bearing block bolts. Remove the strip of
newspaper, and the gear mesh should be close to perfect. When the gears mesh
smoothly, completely tighten all of the upper and lower bearing block bolts.
