Thank Lisa that helps a lot but I don't think I'll change the way I position that gear just because that's the way I've always done it. But you are correct. Kind of like how I put all my computers together with the same type of screws and in the same positions for drives and such. Just habits.

Hey if this is true then I shouldn't be worried about opening up my PSG-1 and messing with the timing for that right? That's the only mechbox i haven't opened yet because everyone seemed to be like "Timing the gears is everything in that mechbox!"

"What we are trying to say is that as long as the sector gear is in a position where all the teeth are facing downward (a position anywhere between 12:30 and 3:00, such that no tooth is in touch with the piston at the time of installation), it will do fine. Still, by having the gear "one o'clocked", you can enjoy a slightly faster initial response time (and peace of mind too). That’s all."

This is why i kind of like the idea of "timing" the gears. Peace of mind. :tup:
As for the PSG-1 gearbox I've never opened one nor have I looked at any diagrams/pictures/instructions for one so I know nothing about them, but we're not dealing with the PSG-1 here, so that's irrevelant.
Agreed, I should have started my own thread but since we were talking about timing I brought it up... my bad.
