....and some of those older fiber timing gears used to lose a few teeth once in a while. Can be just as bad as a worn timing chain. My '05 Tacoma V6 engine has gone back to timing chains for the four cams and I feel better with it than I did with the '95 Tacoma V6 with the timing belt.

I'm for chains period. (Although some of those straight-cut metal timing gears can sure make a nice sound.)
