Bob,

When I rebuilt my series 81 engine I used the spiral type locks and they worked just fine. As for the gears I had a new set made using the old ones for samples, the pin that holds the gear in place on the cam shaft is a taper pin so you will need a set of taper reamers, drill a hole on only one side of the gear and line it up with the hole in cam shaft then with a smaler drill bit drill through the other side then ream to size with the taper reamer, the hole in the oil pump shaft is a streight pin so with a hole drilled in one side of the gear and lined up with the hole in the shaft just drill through that side install the pin and pean it over or you can use a modern roll pin.
