Re: Timing Gear Preference
Another little item I didn't see mentioned. Its a good idea to fill the dipper tray [ if the base has been removed]. Its probably easiest to dump a couple quarts of oil thru the distributor hole. If not done the rod bearings may rattle a bit for a few seconds.

Re: Timing Gear Preference
Hey KGBnut,
If James Rodgers hands on engine break down information...alone.. doesn't get your attn, think of all the money/time you spend repairing this type problem. Then IMO , do the right thing and call Dan McEachern for his 'matched' set of crank/bronze cam gears. Dans' gear set is like fine jewelry ! Where the NOISEY badrap , on the metal gears came from..who knows. Would say that it's an 'ole wifes tale'...but truth is it is an old mans tale',eh !

Re: Timing Gear Preference
I never soak the seal. It just makes it a mess to install. I install it dry and almost always have to trim a little off, yet leave about 1/4" sticking above the gasket after I have pounded the seal into place with a large socket. I tuck the seal in by hand, then using a socket the size of the pulley shaft, I tap it into the seal. I then trim some if need be, then oil the seal and spread a coat of Mystik grease on it. Never had a leak doing it this way.

Re: Timing Gear Preference
Dan's gears are by far the best made. Truly precision instruments. However, be advised they will rattle if the cam/drive gear clearances are too much. I replaced my fiber gear with a matched set and they did rattle, got to checking real close and the clearance was .006-.007 which was masked by the fiber gear. I then got an oversize from Dan. Be sure to check your clearances first. Spec is .004. Dan recommends no less than .003. Measure at 3 points around the gear to check for run-out. Check the face of the gear for wobble, although I suspect the fiber gears would wobble after time just by their flexibility. I honestly don't know how you would measure it with the gear already broken, but for sure check on installation. Over the eons and how many babbitt jobs or babbitt wear, the line bore between the crank and cam can get off, or the cam bore wears too much, which you never notice with the fiber gear. And he is very helpful.
