Timing pulley hits the chain cover

[Ignatios]

Hello all,
A quick question,
I have Larson 330 cabrio 2000 with bravo 3 drive and twin 350 mag vortec mpi.
I was doing some work on my engine... long story short I put in new timing cover on a new short block from the previous engine I noticed that the timing pulley hits the timing mark on the chain cover when I tighten it I couldn’t figure out the reason why... is there a spacers that one must put under the pulley to keep it from hitting the timing mark on the chain cover.
Please advise
Thank you very much

What's the timing pulley? Got a pic of what you're talking about?

harmonic balancer usually stops on contact with the crank timing gear

Yep, it's the reluctor wheel...

There is more than one TC cover to fit SM Chevy. Usually, differences have to do with Timing tab(s).
