Survivor nylon timing gears - my LT1 survivor.
After being told a few months ago on the NCRS forums that I was living on borrowed time - I relegated myself to change it -
Good thing I heeded their advice.
46k miles - only 19k miles since 1973 - check out this shredded nylon cam gear.
I picked up NOS pan gaskets and NOS timing chain cover gaskets plus a new balancer seal - National Seal which was the same number on the seal I knocked out. -
My original 7712 balancer has no groove, but the mass ring has spun on the center and shifted laterally to the rear by 1/8- 3/16" - so off for a rebuild at DamperDoctor.
