Long ago late 70's I worked as a mechanic. Back then a lot of engines had nylon cam timing gear teeth from the factory (was meant to have less noise). Most all replacement cam gears were steel.
Since a lot of newer engines are going back to timing chains, are the manufactures using the nylon gears ?
The nylon cam gears would loose the teeth, and of course the timing would jump.
