My trusty fleet mechanic decided he was going to help me out today and remove the gear from my cam. Drilled a nice hole right next to one of the rivets I was looking for a replacement and could only find a "0" gear at Pelican. Mine has a -2 stamp on it. Does it have to be an exact swap? If so, anyone know where to find one?

Thanks

In some cases it's pretty critical, in others you MAY be able to get by with a "0". The sizes reflect the spacing between the centerline of the crankshaft and that of the camshaft. Too tight and you could eat up the soft gear, too loose and it can rattle and wear prematurely. "-2" is smaller than a "0", so you may be a little tight. It's kind of a "feel" thing when assembling an engine. I may have what you need, but it may also be a while before I find it ................... HTH, The Cap'n

Cap'n, send me your delivery info so I can send you my oil cooler and cam gear.
