Re: Timing gear
I have never noticed noise from a metal timing gear on a model A.
I think I hear a little extra noise on my ‘51 V8 with aluminum gear but it doesn’t bother me.
I hate roadside restorations.
I have put metal gears in at least 15 model A cars.done at least 15 model A cars.
After doing seven for one guy he never mentioned extra noise.
I remember on one I did with the engine still in the car.
I removed front mount and had to remove bell housing/transmission bolts and pulling the engine partly off the transmission.
Nasty job to change the crankshaft gear. Even a two piece gear.
I prefer the bronze gear, second best would be the aluminum gear.
