He is aware of the noise they make and the fact that theyre not necessary on street motors?
Other than that, as was mentioned, lash is very important for good operation and life. |

Besides the floating idler gear causing stupid amounts of front bearing/cam wear, and the noise, and the fact that a chain does a far better job of damping harmonics, gear drives on street cars that are expected to last 100k miles instead of regular tear downs, are great and a worthwhile investment to any engine. helical cut gears are even more fantastic, if you can put up with excessive thrust bearing wear, and cam end float, or maybe an "aerated" timing case if the correct button isnt used with the correct clearance. Go for it man, gear drives are hell cool! 11.38@117 Edited by user Saturday, 12 September 2009 4:04:35 AM(UTC)
