New fiber timing gear installed Thursday. Car runs great. Big pool of oil under car though. So much for hours of cleaning while rebushing the control arms last week. Apparently the front part of the oil pan gasket flaked off when the timing gear cover was removed.

Gasket goop was borrowed from the nice kid next door with the 400 Hp Firebird. The timing gear cover was removed for a quick cleaning and gasket goop application. I then noticed that top edged of the teeth on the new fiber timing gear were pretty chewed up. The oil leak is fixed now and the car runs excellent with no unusual noise from the timing gear area.

Should I be alarmed at the condition of the edges of the fiber timing gear teeth? The damage seems to be limited to roughly 1/32" of the outermost part of the teeth but almost all of the teeth are chipped. The old gear had separated from the hub but its teeth were not chipped at all.

Thanks,

Joe M in WV
