Just use a caliper to measure crank gear to cover depth

I seem to have misplaced my crank hub bolt, but if I don't find it, I do have the part numbers. I haven't yet installed my hub, but I did paint-mark it with victory red touch-up from my caliper setting (that I inserted untill it bottomed on the crank gear). My installation will include a cut to 8" long
7/16"-20 grade eight all thread with thick washers and grade eight nuts (bought from a local McFadden-Dale Hardware). I'll heat the hub in the oven to about 250 degrees, then use my home-made installer untill the paint mark lines up with the seal face. Even though I have a plan, I am still creeped-out because I've read at least fifty threads in the past weeks. Thanks for all the info!

The hub needs to bottom out on the timing chain sprocket where ever it winds up. If it's to far in then ya need a shim.To far out ya need to cut the hub or get another balancer.The belt alignment will tell ya that.
