so that are you trying to say ? that gear drive make noise and cause harmonices? why yes you are right. if you look back thru some of my post you will find this. can i tell you they are junk . and save time looking they kill valve springs . i guess i am one of the few that think this way? i like my $350 dollar valve springs to last?i build engines and i have had very good luck. i would not use one or build a engine with a gear drive . hyper lucky? pistons well if you can not step up with the big boys and run ross or srp- je or mahle etc than you get all the problems that go with it but if you do not know how to build or tune your engine bad thing will happpen with the hyper or forged a hyper is 1/2 of a notch past a cast piston the way i see it and if you build it with no end gap they butt and they fail i have used them for cheap builds and they work for me BUT like i said they do not go in race engines
