Unhappy Harley Davidson Sportster Ironhead 1973 XLCH - XLH - P Cam Gear Wrongly Marked

Harley Davidson Sportster Ironhead 1973 XLCH - XLH - P Cam Gear #3 Wrongly Marked.

Mine has this flaw from the factory, which made me really in the depressing moment. It is written in the Clymer, but wasn't clear which # of the gear.

So I posted here to make a comparison for those who have a similar items for cam gear #3 of P cams. Hope this helps.

Here is the video to help you understand this


the blue marker is aligned with top cam lobe
the white mark is the correct ones
