That is the reason most engine builders don't bother with gear drives for their camshafts. .

This is what I was referring too in my first post up above, thanks for the technical info! :cool: :drink:

Re: engine builder says gear drine

what would happen if someone was to back cut the gears to help with the whine. i had the andrews gears in my Harley trans back cut to make them mesh easier and not as loud...

I've got a gear drive set up for my cams in my Harley and I love them. They do make noise but so do the straight pipes. :evilb: :evilb:

I don't know of any other products they make. I met his older brother "Kong" Jackson and knew a few people that ran around with him in the day. Kong made speed parts for flatheads back in the 50's. Kong passed away a few years ago. When I see pictures from Bonneville back in the 50's there were lots of Kong Jackson speed parts stickers on the cars. Well... they probably weren't stickers back then, they were painted on signs.
