Timing gear torque.
When I put 100 ft lb on that nut to tighten it, should I use a rag in the teeth or will the fiber teeth handle it? Don't want to mess up a new gear.

Re: Timing gear torque.
Thw rag trick will let you torque the nut, BUT you will need a dentist in the future to repair broken teeth! Put the car in gear, chock the wheels with big chocks. Maybe using a rattle gun would work with guessing how tight to get it ?

Re: Timing gear torque.
I wedged a 2"x4" between the block & crank, it worked great.

Re: Timing gear torque.
Ok, I'll do it that way, but it means I load up those fibres gear teeth. They must be strong enough. Thanks

Re: Timing gear torque.
Same thing. The crank gear holds the fiber gear. No way to hold just the cam. It must be ok.

Re: Timing gear torque.
I would use an aluminum or bronze gear.

Re: Timing gear torque.
The only good way to do it is take the side cover off and put a clamp across the gear below the teeth. The rag puts pressure on the teeth just like no rag.

I believe Dan McEachern recommends the same as George.

Re: Timing gear torque.
Why not use an impact wrench? John

Re: Timing gear torque.
New question. I saw on a video where the guy put a big washer on before he put the nut on. Is this right? Snyder's does not offer one. Help.
