Timing Gear Drive

Thanks for the input. As to why a gear set...chain stretch. Combine that with how the align boring can change the crank/cam distance and a gear set seems to be the all around answer. OK, thay make undersize timing chains but at roughly the same price point, why not the gears? The Milodons approach $400, the Thunderchicken (CAT, thanks for that tidy bit) about a $100. That $300 difference could be valve covers.

Money is not unlimited so if the CAT quality and durability are OK, I'd rather spend 100 than 400. But if anyone has negatory experience with the CAT(or CAT products in general) then I'll have to decide if the gear concept is THAT important.


yeah well OK. A unique mechanical sound would be cool too. Ya got me on that.
