Hi everyone,

Putting my SS 180 engine back together. I used a zip tie to keep the gears in order when taking apart but i'm nervous that I have the second gear backwards.

Does this look right?

Yeah/naw.... should be a bit of a gap between 1 and 2 for neutral.

here's the wiki on a P2 stack, which should give you the gist of it

Gear stack order and spacing

here's another discussion on it with a photo representation

P Series engine rebuild questions

some good info in there. hope that helps!

Wiki was supper useful, thank you. I had it the right way. For the record, this what it looks like when placed incorrectly, leaves a monstrous gap.
