Hello, David Franchi wrote about the cam gear's nylon teeth giving way. I lost 4 teeth on my 260 and I swallowed a valve which rotated in the cylinder after breaking off, and the sharp end cracked a piston in half. I needed a complete engine rebuild. Do yourself a favor. If you haven't rebuilt your engine, pull the water pump off and the front engine chain cover and CHECK THAT GEAR !. Ford went to all steel gears in 1966 to get away from the problem. Who would have dreamed that these engines would be run as long as they have and that the Nylon would have seen 50 years of heat cycles.
