Distributor gear on camshaft

[vincenzo]

I have dismantled the distributor gear on the camshaft several months ago and now its time to fit everything back including a new timing gear.
The problem is that i can´t remember which way the gear should sit. If anyone can upload a picture of how it should be i would be very happy.

It will work either way round, but going by the witness marks on the one I have here the flat face is at the front. The order of parts is Timing sprocket, fuel pump cam/spacer, then oil pump gear with the groove against the FPC/spacer, then the washer and bolt.

In this picture the 'golden' spacer is the wrong way round, but the gear is not.

This one has a plastic spacer in the bolt too, otherwise it is as standard. I guess the timing gear is not as standard either, but you asked for a picture. You get the picture.

Plastic spacer in the bolt sounds like the mythical STC3620K option which is supposed to stop damage from the cam bolt rubbing on the timing cover - Des Hammill book.
