[SEL] Sorta O/T..gear making

[Judge Tommy Turner]

JB,

    I've had similar experiences.  Looks like your marine engine builder 
didn't follow the "standards" either.

>Tommy, my Holiday marine engine had stripped two of the three timing gears when a guide on the lifter broke, no doubt this is what took it out of service. The gears don't match any in the books, much finer teeth. Usually if you have the same number of teeth and the same diameter it will work. I'm running it on a timing chain from a Pontiac for now. I have the blanks and cutter made, just haven't taken the time to cut them yet. I made a helical gear for another engine, unique rigging, working on a story for GEM, got to get back on that.
