The Cloyes timing gear set is poorly made and I've heard of more than 1 complaint of having a hard time installing them.

I don't like the alloy camshaft gear and we broke 1 in 1 of our performance motors a long long time ago.

Although sort of nit picky, there aren't threaded holes in the crankshaft gear for easy removal. But back when we were getting most of our steel timing gears out of the junkyard, that made a difference, so partially some old prejudice for stupidity.

Here is a recent post that includes so negative comments on their quality.
