I lost about an inch worth of timing gear teeth. These teeth would now be in the oil pan. An oil change is obvious, but what about pouring a gallon or two of diesel fuel in, then pulling the plug with hopes of most of the fragments coming out in the ensuing deluge? Thanks.

IMO you will need to pull oil pan Pieces could be in dipper tray or under
it |

Don't forget to check the oil pump as well. Sorry to here about your problem. What made the teeth break off in the first place?

I always removed the oil pan when a fiber gear stripped . I wouldn't pour diesel or other thin solvent in the crankcase because it would dilute the oil in the dipper tray and wouldn't drain out the oil drain plug. Debris in the crankcase is just another reason to use metal timing gears that are unlikely to ever strip.

My timing gear broke this summer. The debris was all over the oil pan, above and below the baffle plate. I doubt that any alternative would have worked other than dropping the pan. Also gave me a chance to check the oil pump and fix a leak near the rear main bearing.
