Just to clarify, I have a gear drive, not a chain drive (sorry for the mis-communo). When you say "drive it as far as it will go", what if that is not far enough? Ever encounter that type of problem?
I would assume that, like a chain driven gear set, the gears should align very close, if not perfect, no?

There is a torrington bearing installed (washer-like bearing?) but it does not bring it (the cam sprocket) out far enough.
