<VV> engine question

[NicolCS@aol.com]

I did it recently, Bob.  As Lon stated, getting the old gear off was the 
bigger issue.  Fortunately, we had the bad gear to experiment with before trying 
to remove the good one.  I didn't replace the little paper gasket (Clarks sells 
them) and that was a mistake.  I had a leak into the flywheel flange area.  I 
cured the leak with a nice bead of silicone between the hub and gear, thanks 
to a tip from another VV'er in Southern Cal (or was it Nevada?).  I also 
happen to have the J-tool "required" installation of the gear if you need to borrow 
it.
Regards, Craig

<Has anyone ever had success in replacing a defective gear with good used one 
pressed off other crankshaft?  I'm wondering about how good the press fit 
would be. Thanks in advance.Regards, Bob Helt>
