Title: Second Opinion on Cam Gears
Post by: sporkfan on December 23, 2009, 06:03:34 PM

I started going through the engine on my 318is checking trying to fix the annoying oil leak and valve tick. Aside from the threads missing from one of the valve cover bolts (grrr, previous owner) everything looked pretty good.

Just for giggles, can I get a second opinion on these cam gears.

What about them? They look fine. Do you have any broken teeth?

No broken teeth. Just paranoid about the engine that's all.
