Regarding the Intervalves. I used them on my '86 3.2 engine. What led to the decision to polish the stems?
The gear on the intermediate shaft should be fitted to the drive gear on the crank.
By fitting I mean: achieving the appropriate backlash. Matching the numbers is close but not always close enough.

The InterValves seem like a very nice product with the exception of the shaft/ stem finish. They seem a little rough so we just polish them with the same tool we use to polish cranks.
