Tom:
An easy way to check
for the gear being worn out is to rotate the crankshaft back and forth until
you feel the resistance of the cam and lifters, (they require a lot of force
to turn compared to just sliding the pistons up and down). If you can turn it
more than about 10 degrees, it will be more like 25,
chances are that the chain has slipped.

Subject: IML: timing
gear on 63?
Thank you to all who have posted ideas
on my comatose Custom 4dr. Consensus does not seem universal though
on whether original timing gear on 63 had plastic teeth or not. If you
have seen either or both types with your own eyes on an original car, please
let me know so I can decide whether to pursue that as possible cause of my
immediate problem or look elsewhere. It is a lot of work to expose that
gear and I would hate it to be for naught. My FSM is snail-crawling
from pennsylvania to arizona; I would rather not wait for it to confirm
what many of you might know already. --Tom
