The 928 used to be my hobby, I now go shooting. There is no such thing as a cheap hobby.

If you enjoyed both of your hobby's at the same time then you would have a 3rd hobby. Drive by shooting

The earlier HTD 83 to 86 16v gears are in short supply and look as they are going the same direction as the later cam gears.
Currently Porsche has them as 928 105 545 10.
No SS as yet but they do have another number in both PET and their price list 928 105 545 14. Doubles the price of course.

Finally received one of the new Porsche 85 to 95 cam gears - 928 105 530 04.

As I suspected they changed the manufacturer to KWG and from my initial observations have changed the material and possibly anodized the complete gear. This is there way of resolving the cam gear wear issues that have plagued us for the last few years.
The old gear weighed 13.5 oz and the new one 15.6 oz.

I will know more when the engineers do some materials testing.

Roger, are these sprockets/gears available yet? I'm just tearing into my timing belt job, and may be needing new ones.

This reminds me of an article I read about countach ownership. An owner needed new valves. He ended up needing to rebuild the motor. It was cheaper to have 48 valves comissioned and made than to buy them from Lambo. Out of titanium.

I have a 968 and the gear is quite different. Would not work.

The wife unit here is a marathon runner...

She used to wonder what I spend on flying, until I did the same thing..

Every 300mi a new pair of shoes, the clothing, flights to events, event registrations..

Each.

Looks like they lost their minds.

I'll be looking forward to your resonably priced alternative Roger.
