ALUMINUM STANDARD TIMING GEAR

This die cast timing gear is die cast from 356-B Aluminum and heat treated to T-6 specifications. Using a higher grade material like 356-B makes this gear quieter other aluminum gears on the market. After installing gears, slide a feeler gauge between the aluminum and steel teeth. The backlash should not be less than .003 nor more than .005. This gear and the crankshaft gear are made by the same company for a perfect mesh fit. The two dowel pin holes in the gear are off center. If the gear will not slide on the dowels entirely, then rotate the gear 180 degrees for proper fit. See part #38115A for a how to DVD.
