Pointy teeth on crank sprocket?

[Simon S]

(136K mile engine)
All my sprockets look great (squared) – with exception of crank sprocket. I’m puzzled. Are teeth on this sprocket pointy to begin with? Should I replace it?

Looks like it's already been replaced?

Sweet dude - thanks so much !

Yeah - it looks like crank sprocket is somewhat 'pointy' to begin with.

yup they are pointy brand new i just replaced mine. it is fine as long as they are all the same and not rounded off or some sides more worn down than others.

Thread has already been answered, but yeah, what bmwm42 said. My gf's (145k) was a bit worn - big difference between the new and old. However, her cam gears were mint. Kind of weird!
