I have to keep my purchases to Jegs, Summit, Ebay and Amazon as I'm in Canada on a small island with limited access to retail outlets. The Melling Gear set I posted on Summit has a Steel crank gear while the Autozone one is Cast Iron. My understanding is the Iron gear is weaker but quieter than steel. I'd consider the Autozone set but they don't ship to Canada and I don't get into the US much anymore.
I'll be installing the gear myself. I don't want to find out the Machine shop had installed the gear with a press and I had success with heating the damper a few months back. Thanks Stock49 for giving detailed instructions on the process.
I'll keep my eye open for used degree wheel and see if I can acquire the rest on the cheap. It'll more be for checking the setup at this point. Perhaps I can look into the offset key if adjustment is needed.
I left the crank and it's gear on a stand at home, does it "heat" on as well or press fit?
