What do you think of....
So I was looking at replacing my timing chain for a little preventative maintaince and while browsing through Napa's Website I found A Timing Gear set, not a Chain driven gear but a Gear drive Timing Upgrage... ( http://www.napaonline.com/Search/Det...+50014+2014003 )..So what do the people of blazerforum think? Is this a good upgrade from stock or a waste of money? do you think this would cause any problems? Lets hear your input!

Never seen them on a V6, always a V8. They sound crazy and I wouldn't mind one, but not sure how quickly it would get old.
V8 "gear drive blazer" search on Youtube |
Yea, but those are straight cut gears with two idler gears like this ( http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...:0&tx=87&ty=40 )( pete Jackson co. makes noisy and quiet ones but you cant use the ones with ilder gears on vehicles with knock sensors ) theese gerars are a hellicial cut so they should be very quiet, but is their a perfromace gain?

we put a timing gear setup on our old ford shop truck at the last place i worked. that was like 3 or 4 years ago, its still in there! lol
i like them, but i would imagine that over time the teeth would wear and cause your timing to go out a little. |

Your knock sensor will go nuts with a gear drive. Lots more noise than a chain setup.
Wear is wear. So whether its a worn gear drive or a stretched chain, it will affect timing in much the same manner. I wouldn't really worry too much about the chain in terms of preventative maintenance. Especially if you have no other reason to pull off the timing cover. |
well I kinda do, I have a pan gasket and timing cover leaking oil, so I figured while im in there it wouldnt hurt to replace the timing componets. you think the knock sensor will still go nuts even with a matched set of hellicial gears?
