Whitedart, is there a benefit to lightening the distributor/oil pump drive gear? I think I understand why but is the result worth the effort?
.. good catch. I have the opinion that ounces makes pounds and everything adds up. I lightened the Gear Up by several ounces. With no negative effect on its mechanical purpose.. I do think it helps get a little more oil down to the bushing.. there's also a small flush hole drilled at an angle from the inside to the bottom to help evacuate oil and any debris that would accumulate in the pocket... I don't turn an oil pump with this gear any longer. So I was able to oversized the holes even more
