The top timing gear moves easy enough but the bottom is ridiculously tight. Im trying to gently pry it here and there but it wont move and i dont want to go full retard on it because you should never go full retard and i dont want to break something

Suggestions ?

Did you have to pry the top gear off?

if you did, you may have just fuked up your $180.00 timing chain which is why i told you not to pry it off

you can leave the bottom gear on for now . just whip your Snausage out.

Your nose of your Chinese crank is around .005" too large.

ok,

VPW does NOT have the cam . . Their price is $450.00 aud . Delivery time is 6 to 8 weeks . They can air ship it faster for more money.

Summit racing has it and it will cost $465.00 to your door and will take 14 days.

Done...

That was kind of nerve racking..

It stopped a couple of times, like it was catching a little.

But it slid out pretty easily.


Here's to hoping i didnt fk a bearing  :cheers:


Number on the cam is

52951

274 R 10

ok, post photos of it so we can see if it is steel or cast iron.

Third try to get cam gear info from you.

The cams always catch when removed and installed.


Are the edges of the cam lobes razor sharp?

Resizing the photos now.

yes, there pretty sharp. if i pressed hard enough definitely cut my finger.

I'll let you be the judge of the pics but now its out, the gear doesn't look chipped or worn. I'm probably wrong but...... ill be  :ouch: :ouch: :ouch: :ouch: if ive done all this for nothing and could have just got a new dizzy gear.

On tge last pic you can see some chips and burring on the corners. Is that significant enough to warrant changing it

Ok, just sent it.

You may be able to sand the sharp edge where it is broken and reuse it but i will need bigger images

That is a steel cam and you do not need a bronze gear but you do need to post photos of the cam plate and back of big gear
