Om617. Project will have hydroboost brakes so I have no need for vacuum. I was curious if I needed to add some sort of polished bolt to keep tension on the IP timing gear to mimic the pressure the vacuum pump normally places on it OR if theres no issue with that end play that occurs with no vacuum pump in place.
