Timing gear, what is the best.......

Gear drive of chain?

Rolex

Gears are noisy.

Rollmaster or 440 source billet, I can highly recommend as being good quality and needing no adjustment after having lined up the dots and checking with a degree wheel. Cloyes are the absolute pits, had loads of trouble with them, use at your peril! A good quality chain is every bit as good a gear drive in my opinion.

I use a JP Performance multi-keyway timing set. Found it perfect and not a bad price.

Miloden Gear drive....can transmit harmonics to the valve train though/ Race critical i think....but fantastic

I have always opted for chains for that reason, Steve...

True, belt drive being the Ultimate...KERCHINGGGG

Belt drives are good and pretty easy to set up, but nowhere near as easy as milodon gears, we put a jesel belt drive on the 493 when we re-built it and had one on the belv, and we have a milodon gear drive on the 605, both work great

I'm using a multi keyway rollmaster with thurst bearing behind

from romac in Oz

www.romac.com.au

tiz nice and i've had no issues

gears make a racket that sounds good for the first 500 miles

and then is a pain in the ass

and you can transmit harmonics from crank to cam that have a detrimental effect on anything that runs off the cam. i.e in some engines the dissy and oil pump. if the dissy is gear driven rather than offset dog a Nylon gear can help mitigate (i don't know about anything other than my own which is gear driven)

you could go for gilmer belt drive just to be different

need special pulleys and water pump covers and a good bit of space

and a tensioner
