Ron:

I'll take some pics when a newer timing gear arrives and is installed.

Only the outer edge of the teeth on the timing gear were chipped. I didn't notice any damage in the valley between the teeth on the fiber gear.

If there is no marks on the timing cover, then perhaps the installed fiber gear was an inferior composite or part of a bad manufacturing run. I spent a lot of time trying to line up the teeth and index marks before tapping the gear on the cam until enough threads were exposed to get the retaining nut started. Once the nut was started I used a socket to turn the nut and push the fiber gear the rest of the way home.

Best regards,

Joe M
