I debated whether to post this in the LT1 Tech or Advanced Tech section, and decided to post it here because of it's unusual nature. I will delete this post after I get a definitive answer as to not clutter this forum.

I'm hoping someone here has an 95+ Opti laying around that they can go look at for me to verify the orientation of the rotor hub to the shaft. My Opti was stripped completely down to verify build and I didn't remember to mark it before it was taken apart. To do this however, the cap, rotor, slotted disk and shim have to be removed to see the hub.

Here's a picture of the parts I'm referring to. I believe the oval hole on the hub (the part on the left side in the picture) lines up with the drive pin drive hole on the shaft (the part that's on the right). In the picture I have it lined up the way I think it's supposed to be.

Curt, I looked at my spare. The small oval hole lines up with the slot at the 4 o'clock position (with the cam pin slot @12 o'clock, looking from the backside as in your photo).

 

Curt, the picture isn't coming across for me.

I'm about to pack an opti upt to send back to Sam tommorrow.

 

Luna -- sorry about that. I had done some patches to my server, and now it doesn't like certain characters in the file names. I corrected the link in my first post.

 

Can anyone else look at an Opti for me? I'd just like to see if they're all assembled like apex's.

 

Here are pictures of my old Opti...

Flip Opti over, drive pin still aligned to #1:

Be aware that I rotated the Opti slightly when flipping it over and didn't notice it until now. In the second picture, the rib that's close to 12:00 should be at 12:00 -- it's slightly skewed counter-clockwise.
