Re: Is this normal wear? Aluminum cam gear
I am afraid that I agree with Mike K. There is something wrong. I also agree with the rest of the comments. If it was my car I would pull the engine, clean it out, and check every part. I would have the crank magnafluxed. The aluminum that has shredded from the gear has probably imbedded itself where you don't want it. Also look into adding a harmonic dampener at the front of the crankshaft.
