you are convinced, so what can I say. That does not look like a mark on the cam gear. Looks like a bump, the way your lifters made it thru customs, who knows if that was tossed or dropped.
I just look at every picture of every timing gear set online and the taper of the gear is on the other side.
What part number was that chain? If you are going to put the 2 pc cover on, what would it hurt to take the gear off and look at the other side, and if you see definite marks, install it and see if its tighter. The mark will just be on the 12:00 position not 6:00 so you should not need to change the distributor.

You look at fatguysinc picture and you see the recess of the cam gear. Same recess on the sketch of timing marks earlier in the thread.
. Figure there would be a definite pin punch mark on the other side not just a bump. I mean the crank gear is pretty weak too so who knows. I would just be worried that the cam is pulled out a little and not running on the middle of the lobes.What part number was that chain?
