Due to breaking several bolts while removing the water pump I have had to remove the front cover and lucky for me I did. I have 13 teeth left out of 40, I think, on the cam timing gear. Just thought I would pass the info along.   Rob Davison (Nosivad_bor) Senior Member Username: Nosivad_bor Post Number: 383 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Friday, May 23, 2003 - 05:30 pm:    no shit.. interesting. rd   Michael Slade (Serious_one) Member Username: Serious_one Post Number: 55 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Friday, May 23, 2003 - 06:52 pm:    Quick, while you can, replace it with the Cloyes double roller chain/gearset. I'm sorry I don't have a part no. for you. My nylon toothed gear shattered at 183K on my RRC, 1000 miles from Portland up in Canada. At 1buck/mile (USD), the truck ride home wasn't very cheap. I advise anyone getting up in miles to replace it as soon as they can.   Greg Hirst (Gregh) Member Username: Gregh Post Number: 200 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Friday, May 23, 2003 - 09:50 pm:    My Cloyes True roller set is part #9-3132. Same as Buick 215 or Buick V6.   Mark D.

I got a timing chain and gears from Carquest $25.00. I think it is a Dyna Gear. Also replacing the headgaskets and head bolts.
