The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Model A Engine Noise and worn timing gear

Replacing the crank-gear at the same time as the cam gear is recommended, and the ideal way to do the job; in my case, I was pushed for time to get my car back in service, and I was only looking to extend the working life of an already-tired 87,000 mile engine...

Mine has racked-up another 1500 miles with the new aluminum gear against the factory steel gear, with no seeming adverse effect.
