Re: Another fiber timing gear bites the dust
Hi Carl,
Like your very wise approach .... nothing like installing the best available ..... best Model A tires available ..... best Model A timing gear available. Almost 99% of required maintenance & 99% of our wasted time & our wasted money usually happens when all of us try to cut corners. |

If the engine is as a normal A engine is, it will have some slug in the pipe, meaning metal particles. Flushing will do more harm then good. They are easy to clean, the right way. Make an attachment to the shop vac hose, with a small hose just a little under 5/16. Slide it in the oil tubes and suck all out that is in there, DO NOT FLUSH IN TO THE BEARING! Herm. |

Re: Another fiber timing gear bites the dust
The engine was running when the timing gear disintegrated, so it's possible that some of the pieces entered the valve chamber through the large hole behind the timing gear. I would take off the valve cover and check to see if any pieces are laying on the floor of the valve chamber. If you see a lot of them, chances are some may have gone down the oil supply holes to the main bearings. Depending of the amount you see in the valve chamber, that would determine whether you pull the engine and chase the holes for chunks of the timing gear.
