The factory fitted camshaft timing gear on these Chev. and GMC engines was made from a moulded fibre material, the gear isn't strong , the teeth fail. A replacement aftermarket Aluminium gear is available and is a worthwhile modification for reliability. Early Holden cars here suffered from the same issue. At the Corowa event some years ago, a GMC CCKW, it's timing gear broke apart. https://oldchevytrucks.com/blog/2010/02/timing-gear/ The home page: https://oldchevytrucks.com/blog/2018...icle-listings/ |
