Just reading the post about "New Engine Conversion" - and I wonder -
besides cost, is there any reason why engines have not had meshed gears
to drive the cams. Piston type aircraft engines all have gear driven
cams. No body wants to try to pull over and park on a cloud when a
timing chain fails.

Just curious.
