I'm about to re-index the kicker shaft when I found this

If you read down he claims the case cracked because the match marks were off...
I am/was planning to run a gen3 250 kicker on my a/f conversion and was going to re-index to fit nicely, now this damn article has me a little worried...

I think it is caused by improper starting method which could become worse with improper indexing. if you don't start at tdc and kick all the way through the kick could stop just before TDC and cause it to kick back. when this happens the kicker is slammed back into the stop in the case and it breaks the case.
you are fine moving it 1 spline to help with 250 kicker fitment, but if it is really far off it could cause the kicker to engauge further down in the stroke causing an incomplete kick putting the cases at risk.
