I would think that the rebuilder would want to retrieve that broken timing gear he has especially made for his business, and find out why it failed. It looks to me as if the gear material may be the cause.

Also, the laminated timing gear sold by Bratton's is far superior to those composite fiber types that preceded the laminated gear. Failures of the laminated gear are uncommon, so why an especially made non-metallic gear?
