i finally found a wiindow in my schedule to tear into the engine to find out what all broke. the fiber timing gear shed about a quarter of the teeth off and that is where the engine stopped.

i am now trying to get the timing gear off and was wondering if there a way to remove the timing gear from the cam without taking the cam out of the engine, and i suppose if it is possible to get the new gear back on while the cam stays in the engine as well.

any input is appreciated!
