Can anyone explain? 16 amps at 6v is not a huge increase in power transmitted, and equiv only 8amps at 12v which many apparently achieve.
Of the original steel sports timing gears , were/are these hardened like gearbox gears? Was a cast iron dyn gear retained with those? Or were all 3 soft mild steel? Is the new gear mild steel?
Mild steel wears notably, esp on itself. (the original mild steel distributor drive gears wear despite trivial loading)
This is one situation where I concede a filter would be worthwhile. And maybe lotsa ZDDP, although it is difficult to establish actual levels of the latter.
