Timing gears?

[Syonara]

Anyone ever use timing gears(gear drive) and not a timing chain??Or what they think?

Curious if anyone has a sound clip?

I know with SBC's, the typical gear drives can be picked up by the knock sensor. I imagine it would a source of false knock our motors as well.

Yeah, I explored this option when I was building a 350 for a Fiero years back, but the knock sensor problem stopped me in my tracks.

There are some people running FAST without knock sensors, so I'm sure you could do it that way, but I personally want the security that sensor provides......

waste of time. if you want something nice do a belt drive.
