Steel ones on ebay (SA) $170, have heard them or should I say NOT heard them at work in a motor .
Have been told the alloy ones separate from the steel centre over time, Trev .

there's been a bit of talk on the FE/FC forum about some steel timing gears having a problem very noisy and when checked having to much play
