I guess it's possible that my old gears are worn. But I can't see or feel any wear on them...
Not wrong per say, but not manufactured correctly
Update, put all 3 Donovan gears in it and the backlash is darn near perfect. Time to button this thing up!
Good to know
Would that crank trigger piece interfere with an external crank support?
Looks good! I was wondering about that ball bearing on the idler...……….FWIW the Fowler gears are black like yours, the Donovan's are a greyish color.
You are 100% correct, I got the Donovan cam and idler gears from RBS today, the back lash is gone from the idler to cam and reduced, but not gone...
All good thoughts there. I contacted Fowler today and they told me that there was a problem with some of the cam gears being hobbed wrong. There...
Well turns out the gear drive he has is for a .400 raised cam. I need a +.250. The search continues.....

Huh I'll look on Facebook again all I could come up with wasn't the text questions group
I searched the ITA forum classifieds and couldn't find it. Are there ITA classifieds on Facebook too? I can only see ITA Tech questions on Facebook
Thank you! I'll look him up.

I did not buy the block new, and yes it has always been this way
Wizbang, that is the same Fowler drive I have now. I really want something different.....

I forgot to say I just got the crank back from being repaired and figured I could offset the cover with offset bushings enough to take the...
Not a new build. I broke a 4340 crank at the front rod journal after 50 passes. Switched to a Bryant crank last year went 45 passes and found...
In need of a gear drive for a New Century block, RCD no longer offers one, I'm going to call New Century Monday morning hopefully they will have...
