Default Re: Is this normal wear? Aluminum cam gear

One other comment. There should be a hole inside the front of the valve tappet chamber that oils the timing gear. It was knocked out with a hammer after the block was cast so it looks rough. It could be that the hole was not hammered open when the engine was manufactured.
