Broken Fidanza cam gears
Was at the dyno today, car started acting up so i pulled the timing covers to make sure the gears didnt slip. they didnt slip, but i found that both intake and exhaust gears were cracked in multiple areas around the adjusting holes. lucky for me they didnt let go and grenade the valves and pistons.
They have about 8000 miles and a few dozen track days on them. running supertech singles for most of them and maybe 2000 on supertech light doubles.
time to buy some toda gears!

I've got a busted screw on mine too if you are interested in parting them out. FYI fidanza sells a whole set of nuts/bolts for these for about $13
Alternatively call fidanza and see if they will replace them. Mine have over 20k on them but that was with stock cams.. Now I will be keeping an eye on them.

First set of pulls were only to 6k rpm since the dyno operator wasn't reading paying attention to the actual rpm... and then when the car was strapped back on the dyno in the afternoon, the car stopped wanting to idle after a single pull... which lead to discovering this.
Especially good, since the second set of pulls were going to be 'till it hit the rev limiter. Scary.
