Get the part numbers from RealOEM then call BMA, or do a special order request on their webpage, BMAParts.com.

" I see a little bit of rounding on the edges but not as bad as the one pictured above. "....  Thanks for making me feel good!   ;)  

Control arms arrived today  -  I guess the timing chain and sprockets are the next job.


I think this could be just different profile of tooth, or diferent height. If you look close enough you will see where metal is polished, and where machining pattern is left.

Thats a good point.  It does look like it is just the valley and not the peaks that are polished.  I am due for a oil change so will take a closer look in a couple of weeks.

I have an oil ooze from the lower timing case, so I was going to take a look at that end as well.

Thanks for pointing that out!

As far as where to get these parts, you can order them from Pelican Parts as well.
