What are the pros and cons of the cam gear being Alum.alloy vs. Fiber?
I'm replacing my crank pulley on my 56 235, ( it broke loose from the harmonic balancer, wobbled, stretched the rivet holes and made a LOT of noise!!!). Since the whole front of my engine is now exposed, (after one a year on my rebuild), and I have a new fiber gear "in stock", should I replace the alum. alloy cam gear with fiber? Yup, I have studs in the bottom two cover holes so removal will be easy. More noise reduction would be good, but I don't want less precision, performance or longevity. Pros and cons? What say you?
