Why not to use SA Gear timing set Hey guys. Unfortunately I bought one from Advance so I could hurry up and get my car on the road. After I put it in there was a strange gear whine coming from right behind the water pump. I finally got my AC Delco timing set yesterday so I pulled out the SA Gear timing set and took some pics of the cam gears back to back. Clearly there's a problem. Sorry my pics aren't the greatest. SA Gear cam gear on top; AC Delco on the bottom.
Lined the teeth to match up perfectly.
Took another pic 180* from the first pic. Teeth aren't even close to lining up.
Hopefully this keep someone from making the same mistake I did.

Yeah that's the brand. I know advanced auto parts and a few of the other parts stores carry them. I read a lot of good reviews in general before I got it lol. Found one other person with the same problem I was having after I put it in.
