Anybody using Ebay/chinese BB timing gear set?
Too late for me. I finally decided to take my chances and try CAT gear drive timing set. Initial price was like $80 delivered to my door. That's where the cheap ended... It essentially took 15 hours of machining, fabrication and cam timing to get it inside the timing gear cover which equates to about $980 (at my usual $60/hr rate). Now I ordered the quiet version... which apparently to the chinese means that you can hear it 2 blocks away as apposed to 3. Two of my friends think it sounds awesome but my wife, kids, neighbors and myself who have to hear it daily aren't so sure! I suppose if it were in a strip car with nothing but open headers it'd be perfectly fine.
