Very funny, there is a reason that the factory used Teflon on the Timing Gears from some manufactures, like Dodge did on my 1979 B-200 that went 150,000 miles, when it jumped timing at a stop position, Thank God, I was able to fix that one.

P.S. That last photo is what this motor looked like when I bought this second-hand project.
