🔌 Function

The gear meshes within the engine geartrain to transfer rotational drive from the crankshaft to driven engine components. Correct tooth condition and backlash are essential to maintain accurate timing and quiet, reliable running.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Whining, growling or rattling noise from the geartrain that changes with engine speed
• Visible tooth wear, chipping, pitting or scoring on the gear faces
• Excessive backlash or play when the gear is rocked by hand
• Metallic debris or bright flakes found in the oil or on the sump filter screen
• Timing drift or difficulty holding timing marks in alignment during service

🛠️ Service Notes

• Inspect the mating gear as well as the one being renewed; a chipped or worn tooth on the partner will quickly ruin a new gear, so change them as a pair where the wear is shared
• Check the shaft, bush or bearing the gear runs on for wear and scoring before assembly and renew anything that is not to size
• Fit the gear square and press it home rather than driving it with hammer blows, which spread the bore and mark the teeth
• Oil the teeth and bearing surfaces on assembly so the gear is not run up dry on first start
• Where the workshop manual for your engine gives backlash, end float or timing settings for the gear, set and check them to those figures rather than by feel
