"I just replaced my fiber gear with another fiber this spring."

why was this necessary? Could the existing fiber gear have failed?

What exactly is an engine going to do while running that a fiber gear will protect? Is the cam suddenly gonna seize up while you are driving down the road? If anything is gonna seize, it will be a piston in a bore (usually #3 since it is the hottest, see related thread going on right now).

This theory has been set forth before but no one can give a concrete example of exactly the type of failure the fiber gear would protect. And George's comments are well taken.

Look at it another way: if the fiber gear were so good, then why is Dan able to make and sell the bronze and aluminum? Who would buy them if fiber were so great?

We are waiting.......
