M42 Cam Gears NLA

[Powling]

My bet would be evil laughter.

I followed up again with them today to see if there was an ETA for delivery and they confirmed me that my order had been terminated as the parts are NLA in all Canadian and Germain warehouses. Bummer.

The parts guy also stated that IF parts are deemed NLA but will be returning soon (say 6 months later) they will state an ETA for the part. He has never seen a part go NLA with no future ETA and come back into production before.

Have you heard anything back from the dealer?

Just contacted my local BMW dealer and they stated the part is on back order, but will be in between 7-15 days if ordered.

Going to place an order now to see if they do in fact come in, or if they come back and say they are no longer available.

Didnt know that it was. That explains why i didnt find any.

IIRC it's a 3 degree total adjustment.

Does anyone make an adjustable cam gear for these? Could always use those and just degree them to stock or use it as an excuse to get some cams lol

[varg]

doubt it. Sounds like someone should look into machining these if they have a cnc machine ;D

Maybe when they're completely unavailable or ridiculously expensive otherwise, because they will be a seriously expensive part machined in small numbers.

Yup NLA from pelican just got the email, I was hoping it was the other part number posted at the beginning of this thread they had said was out of stock. Guess they leave the part listed just to mess with us ahah.

Just out of curiosity has anyone actually had a chain skip teeth or other timing issues due to just the cam sprockets being worn, and not due to a worn tensioner, chain, and/or guide being the real problem? My pulleys are pretty sharp looking but the tips are all oil varnish, no wear has happened there in a long time, as in the chain doesn't make contact with the top 1/3 of the sprocket teeth, making me wonder how it could have worn down so much or if the wear stops once it gets to a certain point? Obviously they are NLA so i'm going to have to run it as-is anyhow but it seems unlikely a properly tensioned double row chain would skip teeth on what is still left of the sprocket.
