cam gear drive L98
I will be putting a new cam in shortly, and a Pete Jackson gear drive or similar has been suggested. Any comments.
I seem to remember a Car Craft "10 worst things I did to my car", and cam gear drive was number one, but no explanation.
:confused:

Re: cam gear drive L98 (scorp508)
The common opinion is that gear drives are just like straight-cut transmission gears which are horribly annoying to live with because of the noise. I've been wanting to try a gear drive myself to see what it's really like though. I love the sound they make from outside the car. When I try it out I'll just make sure to budget some back up cash for a regular timing chain.

I think they offer two versions, loud, with straight cut gears, and quiet, with helical gears. That false knock business sounds worrying though.

Do these drives come with some kind of load-carrying bearings behind the cover???
Something to think about...
