Post Crank timing gear
Anyone removed this gear?

I had a 2cv in with a serious knocking. It turned out the the front aluminium cage (behind the timing gear had moved 20 mm around. Someone placed the bearing wrong and clamped the 2 engine blocks together with the bearing in the wrong place. Eventually the a 20 mm long groove appeared allowing the bearing to turn and swift back.

I would like to remove the timing gear but can't remember if it is possible? The crank is too good to bin

Yes it is possible, but I don't know how (press I guess), I know VGS in Belgium is doing that it seems that the toothwheel can be as much as 6 degrees of (from the Citroen fabric), making your engine run like crap, valvetiming is of then......

Crank can be done too Peter. For similar reasons I got main bearings replaced by Burton on a crank the other day.

Ya I've seen the crank press that Burton dug out in northern Africa not long ago. It is a monster press, supposedly used by Citroen maybe in Algeria
