thats what i was thinking if they were cheaper or just mirror image and put the marks on the opposite side yourself
A post was also made to both TC forums when I first posted this possible group buy. About the only response was "why would I need this"? I think maybe one person committed from the two forums.
Thanks John, I'll put you on the list. I may call them up next week and try to get some more exact cost figures. The only way they will do this is to send them a set. My motor is just sitting patiently on the engine stand, so that isn't a issue. Just hope I get them back.

it'd be a real pain to see them from the drivers side. The cam gears are milled .100" thinner than the intermediate shaft.
Okay, I bring this thread back from the dead. Fidanza now has my stock Masi sprockets and is going to get me some firmer pricing in the next couple weeks. I will be emailing many of you that previously expressed interest in the next day or two to see if you are still a player or not. As I said before this will be a one time shot and more than likely will never be remade. So if your interested, step up and be counted. The one mod I will be having done is timing marks on the outer cog that actually line up with the cam centerline (like the SOHC cars). That way you won't have to pull the cover to pin the cams.
If you are interested and do not receive a private email, contact me either on this forum or by email.

Todd, since I have a 2nd Masi head on the way upgrade me from 1 to TWO SETS!!!!!

Alan,
With you buying Joe's car or motor and you scoring one set, I'm now down two sets between you two. Hopefully Johnl and Daver are still interested. Anybody have a current email addy for Mark Gilbert? Mark lives in Bakerfield, CA. He was also penciled in for two sets. His old email addy got bounced back.

Well said John!!!
Last chance to be in on the group buy. Still need to hear from several people that were previously interested. Order and deposit has been placed! Now the waiting game. Not too late to order, I can increase the quantity right up until they are run. Probably looking at 4-6 weeks until they are in my hands.
Thanks to all that committed for making this happen!
Okay who wants to get the ball rolling on Masi valve cover gaskets? Anyone have a NOS one to use for a sample? It will be returned unharmed. My gasket is still in one piece, but it is pretty much petrified.

Guys thanks to all that got in on the group buy! I have sent out emails with further instructions on time frame, payment, etc. If you didn't get my email get a hold of me, or look in your spam box.
These are very close to being all pre-sold so if you were sleeping and still want in on this, you best contact me pronto.

I've been married for 10 years and I'm asking the exact same question...
Those gear look like they were worth the wait Todd, good hardware, nice markings, clean look (no garish red or blue) and they look lightweight. How do they compare wieghtwise vs stock gears?
I'll be expecting mine any day now then Set them to 113' right?

LMAO Alan! Hey Alan can you PM me Todd's address, I thought I had it but I can't find it to send him my check. I've got an email out to him but would like to drop it in the mail today if possible.
113 is stock centerline. My intake cam was advanced a couple degrees and came out to be 111.25. Me too to the other statement. Funny how that works.
I have to drop off another cylinder head next Monday at the shop, so I'll get you a weight measurement then. I'm confident everyone will be satisfied with the pulleys. i think they turned out nice! First batch of pulleys have been shipped! Look for them early next week.
