But who knows. The entire engine may be completely worn out. The original poster won’t tell us. Refer post #2.
Nice to know that they are still around; it looks like you may be a source. I dunno, but I would feel better using a cam with a "bolt-on" gear if it's as easy as you say. The concept of a "press-on" gear gives me an insecure feeling. It must have with the Ford engineers as well, as they saw fit to change it after a few years.
