1958 Dexta - Gear Clearance

Post by Dale B »

Hello,
I am rebuilding a '58 Dexta Diesel motor. The Gear Clearance in the manual is from .003 to .006

I have the following between the idler and the following gears.

Fuel Pump .004
Camshaft .011
Crankshaft .011

Is the .011 going to be a problem ? if so are these gears handy to come by? if the Idler and Fuel Pump Clearance is good, I suspect only the Main Crank and Camshaft Gears slightly worn.

Agriline products sell all replacement gears for the dexta, if they are worn past the limits in the manual then they need to be replaced.

Regards
