In the past several weeks,I was really pondering a possible gear drive as I had not found out what condition my shoes were in. Found out yesterday,that with 30,000, my shoes
had almost no wear... so I have put that decisionon the back burner for another 20,000, and will review how happy the gear drive makes other owners in the mean time. I did not vote as I am not sure if there is any real reason at this point.... other than I might like the whine or the shop talk that I have a gear drive...

Hogback, as long as you checked both inner and outer and they were good,I don't blameyou. Just be sure to keep an eye on them.

And what was the cost to have them checked?

 

Dalton, do you think that the 07's have corrected the tensioner problem of past?

 

Completed the install of 26G cams and gear drive this past week. Have notridden yet, except short test ride.

Did the 26G's at 22,000 miles - while in there, went to the 95", flat top pistons, fueling oil pump, adjustable push rods, fueling lifters, and Basily spring - no noticable noise. Knock on wood, hope to not need to get in there again. Long story short - recommend a different-than-stock oil pump if doing all this. Also, I really don't like the MoCo adjustable push rods - seems a bit on the cheapish side to me - stock rods seem better (although not adjustable - almost left them in there since I had the heads off).

Anyone know of a better quality adjustable push rod?
