could a pete jackson gear drive create a vibration in a motor? and also, is there any tolerance, as far as being out of round, on a crank pulley? can a pulley being slightly out of round create a vibration?

I have never used one on a ford, but did use a few on some sbc's. The gears had plenty of clearence between them so I don't see how it could cause a vibration. The only way I could see possible for it to cause a vibration is if the gears fit together very tight. And if that were the case, I don't think the gears would last long at all. Hope this helps.

My machinist friend told me once that the gear drive setups readily transfer harmonics, because there is no chain to act as a dampener.
