Any of you guys have any information or experience with the timing gears in place of timing chains?
Thanks

I put a set on my car once (noisy as HELL) but they make a semi quiet set now I think. And they use a bit more HP to turn I was told. In fact you might have heard me ripping through Hatboro a few nights back in 1990

i once heard they cause a lot of harmonic vibration (???) and unneccesary heat. not first hand knowledge just what ive heard. personnally ive never had a problem with Cloyes timing chains.

You have to be careful and use a torrington bearing behind the cam gear or it will eat the front of the block. I switched back to a good double roller chain.

stick with the chain. All I have used is a good CLOYES Chain.

Well I have the double roller timing chains now but I was wondering how much whine can I get out of those gears, I see they are "machined for noise"
I like the blower type whines you get in the mid and upper range and I thought these might be a good way to add some drama to the engines is all
Basically nothing more than gear whine like a blower or a whiny PS pump would give you is all
So there are issues with these huh?
well we all know I DONT WANT ANYMORE ISSUES
I dont think I can handle anymore issues to be honest with you all!
LOL

Thanks guys
Happy boating

Stick with the chain or a Jesel belt drive.

whiney gear drives are for old school street rods with cherry bombs and flames flying out the exhaust.

Just start dating some B.I.T.C.H and treat her like chit, she will whine all you want and more.
