Timing Gear Drive
Hey stroker scamp...
This is quite possibly an example of the elusive "valvetrain harmonics" issue....
But then again, this is a cast cam in a cummins diesel making 1191 hp and 2000 ft lbs of torque (looks more like 3000, but the dyno couldnt handle it) by a friend on my other forum. I would link you guys to it, but It's definitely not a family friendly group of people there. They're a pretty wild bunch of outspoken people, but indeed people who have a lto of experience making SERIOUS power.
Anyway just to make you feel better and recognize that I am not dismissing what you say, that if anything, this is probably attributable to valvetrain harmonics. But look at how much power the engine makes...
It's off the chart!!!! hehe
granted that's a cast cam core making that much power and if it took that much pounding to break something I'm not worried at all. That's my whole point.
Then again, I am unsure if a timing chain, or belt would live under that either.
So it's kind of a moot point. The gear looks pretty good though, dont you think? hehe
