Default More on gear teeth wear.
I know there has been a lot of discussion on distrb. gear wear on several posts, but I have another problem with the steel gear wearing 95% to 100%(missing) of the teeth off on one side and barely touching the teeth on the other side. Basicly, if the gear were laying flat on a table, from 12:00 to 5:00 there is substancial wear and damage on the teeth, the rest is 15% to 20% wear.

I realize that there is a problem with the teeth wearing, but why more on one side?
Alginment is my first guess, bu what could be off?

The center line of the shaft in relation to the cam gear?

The intake hole to the center line of the block?

I am really concerned that this problem is going to show up again on the next gear, and I'm in the same place next year.
