Re: Timing Gear
I'm very new to the Model A world having just purchased my first one this past November. Since then, I have read a few stories and watched several videos about timing gear failures. So I'm wondering if anyone has any opinion or anecdotal evidence as to why the fiber timing gears fail. It seems to me, and I'm not an engineer, that with only 8 valves, a low pressure oil pump and a distributor to drive the fiber gear should last just as long as an aluminum gear under normal use.
