I'll have to learn 3D CAD to design the engine mount, because I have so much spare time with a full-time job and a pregnant girlfriend.

Quick question regarding camshaft timing: There's a small nick on the side of the camshaft that is clearly used for properly aligning the camshaft and crankshaft. I think that nick is supposed to point directly at the pushrods when then crankshaft is at TDC. Am I correct about this?
Yeah, at TDC the line points straight up the pushrods.
