It had the pre-load springs on it and they were all lose rattling around, the gear had skipped a tooth. Also, no Loc-Tite 609 was used on the tapered end of either of the camshafts. We replaced that split gear with a solid gear. I know you have the single cam 2250, but still would be worth checking, along with the gear lash.

I agree, That is my nest step. I know the Cam Lash is out, I have play when I bar the engine and its more than just the Compressor gear. Ill keep you posted.
