Ron Sadler tells me:-
I have dismantled the front of my engine and the camshaft gear is in a sorry state but the crankshaft gear appears to be undamaged. It looks to me (a surveyor not an engineer) that the dynamator gear has been machined at slightly the wrong angle. I've tried to measure the angle between the gears (which should be 90 degrees) and it appears to be about 87 degrees, cannot guarantee accuracy but you get the picture.
