Subject: Re: New fibre timing gear too tight in mesh!
Hi Julian,
Many thanks...but have found a gear cutter who says he can shave the gears (I have one & a spare) to the correct profile.
Wouldn't exactly call the fibre gear a weak link...the original in my car lasted 36 years, & even then probably only failed through oil starvation...my engine was missing the vibration damper, which throws oil up to these gears.
Cheers
Laurence
