Having spent a (greasy) Easter replacing a grey motor timing gear, I figured I'd jot down the process into a document to help the next guy - the workshop manual has most of the process in it, but it is not that transparent, and most enthusiasts don't have a manual. The document (don't panic, its a small one
) brings together the actual process (with pictures 
), as well as the required parts, suppliers and opinions over steel vs. alloy vs. fibre gears. It's written for the average backyard mechanic with a basic set of spanners.I'm no timing gear expert though - this was my first replacement. Do any of you guys want to read through the document before I post it (I'm thinking here of the guys who have done a number of gears)? PM me an email address and I'll email you a copy.
Cheers,
Harv.
