oh dear that does not sound great, how did that happen? Great to here you are at least still plugging along with it
I can remember long time ago I was putting a 454 with super slim rings together and it was due to be freighted to the NT the following day and guess what. Yes ring snapped and the boss was livid. I had a close look at the ring and found a small inclusion that looked like a small ball and it's right where the ring snapped but it didn't help because we had to get another set flown out from the states.

Glad someone asked teh question as I was sitting here going, errr that is a timing gear what is it doing on the outside of the timing case..... then I noticed that the pulleys were installed on the in car shot and though ok, temporary or you worked out it needed to be on the inside
Looking good so far, hopefully it will go grrr soon.
