Oh I almost forgot to ask the instructions say to put the gears in boiling water at 200 degrees has anyone else don't this method? I believe I've read ...about AB's cam swap he heated the gear for 300 degree I don't know how long?
One more before I logout now that the gears are metal to metal are they going to make that cool whining noise?? Haha just curious

If you purchased gear drive, yes, ...a chain/gear assembly, no it will be quiet.

I put it in my toaster oven at 300° for around 30 minutes to get it nice and hot. Then, with the cam ready and the end coated with grease, I pulled the gear out quickly (with hot pads), stood over the cam, and shoved it down as hard as I could.
Even then, it didn't go on all the way, but it was a great head start. The rest I did with a bolt and washers going into the end of the cam. Pretty easy.
Just be careful, those cam gears are SHARP. I sliced my hand open in several places while messing with it without even knowing.

The cloyes gears are one aluminum and one steel. Supposedly they do not whine as much as the steel/steel gears. That is why people like them.

I'm very old school I would love get get my engine all done here it loping and having a little whine coming from the gears! It would remind me this old plymouth roadrunner with a geardrive I heard in the summer.
Tell me that wouldnt give you goosebump haha!
But if it doesn't it wouldn't bother me either.
