Recently I noticed a Post on timing gears.
In my newly rebuilt B20, which at present sits on the garage floor, I am wondering if I should take the fiber timing gear out and put a steel set in. The fiber set is new, but as many Bricksters know changing them is a lot easier with the engine out. Not to mention avoiding a future breakdown would be a good thing.
Could Brick Borders weigh in on the issue for me? Is keeping the stock set in the engine a big risk? The B20 is bored out and there’s an Isky cam in there with all the usual fixins. I certainly don’t want to run the risk of wrecking all that.
I noticed that Phil mentioned an after market set by NAPA, but that Skandix sells them also. Is six of one or a half dozen of the other?
I’ll probably change them out. I’d rather spend a lot now than an awful lot later, at which time it will be more of an inconvenience, no doubt.
What say ye all?
