Do not spend any beer tokens until compression is resolved.----The 60 PSI is either a bad gauge or blown head gasket or a worn out / damaged powerhead.

Post the compression values.-----You push the key in and hold it in while cranking it over.----Replace flywheel key and torque flywheel nut.----Sounds like it will fire right up after all the work that was done !

If it is 7mm , it will work fine.

Nylon.------Gears are expensive and the nylon factory washer lasts a long time if tightened properly.

I think looking at the parts will help you adjust this.----Simple enuff in my opinion.
