Careful of the filters that come with cheap CAIs. Usually let way more crap into the engine than a K&N or paper filter.

Also, this thread belongs in general discussion, since its not technical in nature. I'll move it there.

 

ebay - truck parts, chainsaws, tools galore, door *****, garage door springs, tires, musical instruments, appliances, tv's, home theaters, computers. the list is endless.

 

One of the eBay thangies I've thought about but I'm afraid to pull the trigger: Timing gear set... As opposed to chain and sprocket/cog... There would be zero skipped timing... No worry of stretch.. no more worries.. except I haven't seen it at major parts stores and this worries me.. if the mapping was just a little off, life would suck... So, I'm going to wait until somebody here pulls the trigger on such and gives a good report first... I'm evil like that...

 

Gear drives are far from new lol. There more commonly seen in race motors. They tend to whine a little as well. Sound similar to small supercharger IMO lol.

 

E-bay is one of the best places for games too.
I got Hitman: Blood Money a while back for $10 while it was still $50 or $60 in the stores. The writing on the case is in Russian but the game itself is in English so I didn't complain.

 

uh, lol lol? really?

gears have been around a long time. maybe you can understand it this way: try finding a timing gearset for THESE engines anywhere but eBay. Can you kinnit?

 

A place here in memphis sells them. When I bought my timing set from them one of the sets they sold was gears.

 

I'm interested how they work.. short and long term.. if they're mapped right, I can't see why anyone would want a chain, right? The precision timing would more than offset the parasitic loss of power in my opinion..

anyway, didn't mean to hijack the thread.. whoops!! Carry on 'yall..

 

I've read that certain ones transmit crank vibrations to the valve train causing pre mature wear but I have no experience with them so I can't say.

 

IMHO, i wouldnt get any drive-terrain parts/ engine parts/ front end parts from ebay...

id only get things like brushguards, LED's, and things to that type...


to many horror stories ive heard from ebay parts
