I received the crankshaft for the 4banger today. I'm pleased with the condition. You never know how an evil-bay purchase will work out. I'm planning on replacing the timing gears. I just feel like a new build deserves new ones.

Like I mentioned before, if this was a V8, I'd already know what setup I was going to use. In this instance, I'm wondering what the consensus is on the best gear set to use. I figure Tom will chime in here and maybe some of the rest of you as well.
