I had a fiber press-on timing gear fail on a rebuilt '35 221, 21 stud engine two years ago on my way to Hershey. Engine stopped running just like I had turned the ignition key off. I removed the radiator and the grille because I was planning to do other work at the front of the engine. I removed the failed fiber gear and installed a new aluminum gear with the cam in the engine.
