Here's a part # just for ducks, SUM850021Yep, I will need the steel gear for the cam in my engine.
I have a look just because,maybe do a leak down as you say, maybe look at a main, you've got the time.After further study, since I wont have the trans on the block and so cant bolt on the starter, what I will want to do is a leak down test.
