It is best to use a clamp to hold the gear while tightening the timing gear nut instead of a rag between the gear teeth . Any other method puts a strain on the teeth when the nut is tightened , especially if a fiber gear is used . I now use only metal gears because the will last longer . Installing a timing gear is a real pain . I prefer the more expensive bronze gear . When bronze isn't available I use the aluminum gear .
