Also, the gear COULD get bent or out of round in the incident, but it WOULD
NOT move on the shaft and show up as a misalignment???

You could ask them if they have a 100% run out test policy on their finished
shaft and gear?
If not, they have no way of knowing it was correct when it left their
shop?

I'm with you Tim, that engine designed for a 15% duty cycle ( 80 hp)
some 50 years ago is on borrowed time in the air. IMHO... But, hey,
that's why the sign on the cock-pit says "EXPERIMENTAL" and I support
every effort to experiment :-D

I now think when I rebuild my VW 1835 I'll do a flush/change at 15 min.
Personally, I dont know that you'll find this was something you could have

Naturally, the engine was flushed, cleaned and blown out with compressed air
during the rebuild. The engine had 4.5 hours on it at time of cam gear

I read a post on another list about breaking in a new CAM and thought I would
do some more checking. I wanted to make sure of what he was saying. So this
info is from Crane CAMS. It has some good info about what oil to use for
breaking in the engine.
Due to the EPAs mandate for zinc removal
I started opening the engine today and had a first look at the cam gear after
removing the oil pump. The first thing that I noticed was that the bolt holes
have been elongated by almost 1/8 of an inch. I can say that there was
certainly movement between the cam and gear prior to failure of
