Funnny you mention that, back in the late 60' early 70's gm made the timing gears out of nylon, after about 100k miles the teeth would break off and get in the
oil pump then bang, it would break. I cut a square out of the
oil pan under the
oil pickup screen so I could access the screen without removing the pan which required engine removal.
