Well had my oil pump all ready to go, but after finding a set of early evo helical cut gears in the box of bits i got yesterday, i started wondering if there were any benefits of running one more than the other?

I always thought that unique 'electric' sound of the sohc 4g63 came from those straight cut teeth.. keep em
