Hey guys, I'm going to be pulling the camshaft for a regrind on this F.5 motor. With the state the motors' in (sludgy and abused), I figure the rubber on the cam gear is probably not in good shape; I'm looking for options. Looks like the oft-recommended Melling 2202 is no longer available, so I'm looking at OE (don't want to use ITM).
I've read some posts that say to use the stock gear (same between F.5 and 2F) that has the rubber damping ring, and others that say solid is better. If I go solid, is a 3FE cam gear compatible? Both are available so just need to make a choice. Whichever I choose, I'll get the matching crank gear.
Thanks as usual.
