[QUOTE="oexing, post: 123377, member: 1493"] So maybe you could try the o-ring mod to see, it is not a big deal to do, provided you got a lathe - or someone to help. I´d think a magneto would be even worse on the timing gears regarding smooth operation. One reason I did not lighten the cam gears like often seen as I believe some more mass on them could smoothen out changing load directions from cam lobes when followers riding up and coming down and all that rattling from this in case of any backlash in the gears. I don´t think your Alton will add a lot of noise to the engine in normal operation, it got a number of poles so more or less smooth load on the valve train, my guess. Are you still busy with a restoration so no road test yet? Vic [/QUOTE]
