Overall Assessment

Customers find the gear to be high-quality and practical, as it expertly eliminates gear noise. Its precision ensures items stay in perfect timing, outperforming other gears in this respect. Despite some reports of rough castings, overall usability and fit to factory crank gears are commendable, underlining its compatibility and ease of installation. However, there appears to be an issue with the tool adjustment feature in associated parts, which could be improved. Nonetheless, users would buy this product again, underscoring their satisfaction with its performance.

Replaced factory gear with this one. Rather rough casting. Machine faces were fair. I had to fix some rough edges, but fit to factory crank gear was good.

All parts good, except the Isky adj lifters, the tool to adjust will not fit the lifter, I have used these tools before and the tool is correct, but the holes in the top of the lifters are too small to accept the tool. On a subsequent call, I was told by your flathead specialist that they were aware of this problem and was told I wouldhave to modify the tool. I am disappointed with this product. I have adjusted the valves on other flathead rebuilds with no problems, I feel like I should have been told before I ordered the Isky lifters that they were drilled incorrectly.

Questions & Answers

1 Question2 Answers

How does gear index to camshaft ? camshaft has a slot on the end that this gear bolts to. Does the gear have a rib or tab that locates to this slot? How do I know the gear is in the correct position to have the correct alignment with the crank gear so that when the gears align, the timing can be properly adjusted?
