Warn 8074 (8274 minus the clutch handle) were a dealer option on Jeeps from '76-78 or so.

I used a 12MM socket to apply even pressure all the way around the seal and very gently bumped it on with a rubber mallet

This is where you can see I installed the old cam sprocket backwards and the area circled in red is where the chain was rubbing from not having the correct backspace.  This was corrected when I installed the new adjustable cam sprocket

New adjustable cam sprocket installed (I degreed the camshaft and adjusted it to compensate the block being decked a bit and then advanced it some more to move the power band into the lower end RPM range

This shows where the timing chain was rubbing due to me being an idiot and putting in the cam sprocket backwards.  Red line shows where the offset SHOULD HAVE been.....no wonder I couldn't find the "dot" that gives you TDC.  No worries....I replaced it with the adjustable cam sprocket and actually installed that one correctly

VERY CAREFULLY pulling out the keepers while the cylinders have compression.....you don't want to accidentally drop a hardened keeper into the motor!

Intake side of the engine was pretty tight without removing the intake, but I managed....notice new cam sprocket set to "0".....I used the degree wheel to advance it to accommodate for the decked block and then advanced it slightly further to lower the power band into the lower RPM range

valve train removed, spare cast iron rocker shaft holders bolted down.....ready for pressurized cylinders - note the old cam sprocket (non-adjustable) is turned around backwards, which was causing the timing chain to rub the inside of the guides when there was slack present - I fixed that (as shown later) and replaced it with an adjustable cam sprocket
