GEAR DRIVE ASSEMBLIES
- CHEVY & CHRYSLER - |
|
For over 40 years, Milodon Gear Drives have been acknowledged as the ultimate in quality, strength and durability whether the use be Top Fuel, Circle Track, Drag Race, Marine or Street. There are lots of gear drives on the market today, many of them are from overseas. None of them can match the American made quality and experience of
Milodon.
Even though Milodon Gear Drives are designed for "All Out Competition", they work equally well in application, including Street. When installed properly, these
gear drives will virtually last indefinitely due to
the zero wear and their overall brute strength. Cam timing accuracy and consistency are the key to accessing
100% of the cam's available power. A timing chain or an "easy to install" $150 gear drive unit can not provide this.
Milodon's professionally proven "Fixed Idler Gear" system is capable of maintaining the precise cam timing required to allow the release of this power. Cam timing adjustments are effortless to perform via the two piece cam gear and cam hub assembly that is accessible on the Full Cover Style Assembly through the removable billet cam cover. The adjustment is achieved by changing the position of the cam gear on the cam hub. A simple bolt-on procedure with no offset dowels or keys to mess with. Each movement is detailed on a provided chart which gives the exact position for the desired amount of advance or retard, once top dead center is found.
A professional style three-gear unit, unlike a four-gear type, does not rob any power from the engine to run. The billet steel gears mounted solidly to the block, will not and can not, allow the timing to vary, unlike a flexible belt or chain. These
benefits add up to increased horsepower output and higher RPM potential.

FACT -
MILODON GEAR DRIVES MAKE HORSEPOWER !!
- It will make the same more power as when new, virtually
indefinitely. Even on the street, it is almost impervious to
wear.
- Street or Strip, a Milodon fixed idler gear will make more
power than a timing chain or a floating idler gear.
- It will keep the same cam timing you set, whether the engine
is on the engine stand or at 10,000 rpm.
- Fixed idler, steel billet gears can not change, unlike all
other flexible chain or belt drives.

-
Allows precise camshaft degreeing using Milodon's adjustable bolt pattern cam gear and hub assembly.
-
Incorporates a full cast aluminum front cover with a removable cam cover that allows quick and easy access to the cam gear for adjustments and cam removal.
-
Mounts the fixed idler gear solidly into the main cover itself. This fixed idler system will fully compensate for any crank position, even if the block has been severely align bored, without any sacrifices.
-
Uses positive cam end play adjustment and a three-piece roller bearing behind the cam gear to control cam movement, reduce power-robbing drag and stop block face wear.
-
NO block machining is required. Hand tools are required to drill and ream the positioning dowel pin hole which, with care, can be done at home.
-
Available in the standard "flat cover" configuration which uses a stock style water pump or the
"injected / blown with fuel pump drive" style that does not use a stock-style water pump. Blown engines will require a fuel pump extension (see that section for a complete listing).
-
For Small Block Chevys, stock factory and Milodon short pumps fit over the 12000 drive with the hardware provided. Big Block short water pumps will not fit over the 12600 drive without additional spacing.
