Hi Mates


We are rebuilding the 1500 B Series engine in a 1957 MG Magnette.

We purchased new large and small timing sprockets from Scarborough Faire.
They are the same as the MGA 1500 engine.

We set the old gears on the bench and put the new ones on top of them. Then
we lined up the notches for the keyways and the timing marks on both sets of
gears. When these were lined up, the teeth on both gears do not match the
teeth on the old ones? Both are about a half tooth off.

Do we have a problem or does it not matter?
