| One other thing....dist gears are presumeably case hardened. That means that if the gear was to slowly wear for some reason, no-one would notice till it wore through the case hardening and then all of a sudden, it's worn away. If you used an old gear which did not "perfectly match" with a new cam, then the "normal" break-in wear could have gotten through the case-hardening. There may not be anything actually wrong with your engine that a new dist gear won't fix. I did have a problem with a mallory dist gear, but it was shearing of the split pin. A larger hole with two nested split pins solved the problem. You might want to do a search in this forum for "oil pressure". It's been a topic of discussion on and off and there's a lot of good info here, though I remember nothing exactly like your problem. |
