The only thing I dont like is there is not enough timing belt now to run an idler on the front run between the intake cam and I-shaft. If we had a longer belt from some other application that would be a great modification. I was just thinking any other "splash oil" from the center drain would help for lubrication on the teeth. I would think some oil being ran on top of the teeth would be better than almost none at all like how the factory setup is. Even if nothing is gained here I cant see how it could cause any harm to the engines I have already done this to.
For the record,I have seen at least 5 of the TSB "melonized" shafts have enough wear on the teeth that I would not want to run them again.
