Update:
So I put loctite 263 (couldn't get 271 tonight) on snout then put timing gear on. I then proceeded to place shims between snout and gear checking for concentricy. It is now within 0.001" and torqued down to 94 ft/lbs. Since I'm this far ill pull the head and verify true TDC since keyway isn't perfect. Probably close to head gasket change time anyway. Thanks for all the help
