Sell it and pick up the Fidanza one, it's frigging beautiful.

The Fidanza one said 30Ft Lbs if I remember right.

it's a cam gear.

it's going to be lighter just in the difference in material. if it fits the belt/cam, is the correct diameter, and doesn't fall apart i can't see where all these problems are coming from.

I'm pretty sure it's usable but I'm not going to use it. Once I install the cams I'll check them with the stock gear. If they're off I'll have the stock gears key-way relocated so that it matches up with the re-grinders recommendations.

i don't understand why you would want to do that, but it is your prerogative. lighter, adjustable, no machining needed, and you already bought it.

the obx cam gear is about 1 1/2 teeth off compared to a stock gear (that is if you use the existing timing mark)
