timing gear drive (if you have one i need your help)

[mr mike]

I got my engine running but the gear drive i put in is the loud one, on the first start i was hearing just a small bit of wine but not much at all, would the gap from the cam button to the timing cover play any effective with the wine ?????
I had a hell of a time with the cam button I had to grind off like 3/4 of it and hit the cover with a hammer just to get the cover on. I know it it calls for like 00.5 to 0.10 of free play from the button to the cover and i have like zero.
any help would be great
thanks
