Hi guys, my governor on my TO 30 has never worked since i bought it.? I tore into it today and when i pulled the governor umbrella off a couple balls fell out. Is that normal.? I took the governor completely off and nothing sticks out to me that it is bad but this is the first time ive done this. Also the bumper spring screw wasn t touching the spring, could that have been the problem? I also noticed a gear that i believe is for the oil pump has a lot of slack in it as well, is that normal?

The balls should be held captive within the cage. You need a new mechanism. If you don't have one, you need an I&T manual which contains step by step instructions for replacement and adjustment. Pay attention to the torque spec on the big nut, you can break the camshaft. There's also a good youtube on adjustment. Google 'Bundy Bears Ferguson governor' and see what comes up.
Oil pump gear is aluminum and positioned under the crankshaft. There's a spec on backlash, but if your oil pressure is good and the gear doesn't show a lot of wear I wouldn't worry about it.
Pictures appear upside down because the engine is on a stand.

Recheck you've removed all the bolts then bump the starter
The cylinder head is secured with nuts on studs. There are 13 studs. If all nuts are removed, take a stiff/thick putty knife and tap it into the existing head gasket to break the seal.
Clean the threads on the studs thoroughly before torquing the head. On this engine I replaced the rusted/damaged original studs with new studs/nuts from ARP products.
