Ha Ha, reminds me of the guys who lost a bronze gear saying they were going to try the new polymer gears. There for awhile some of us just carried an extra gear in the glove box and figured out how to swap one on the side of the road. This could be only the beginning of a long saga yet to be played out...
Then there are a couple of us who took the ultimate cure for sheared dist gears: Dumped the solid roller cam all together! Flat tappet here, I sure got tired of messing with dist gears. Jamo came to the same conclusion.
