Timing Marks on after-market SA cam timing gear

[mikeinPNW]

Recently purchased a set of timing gears from YT for my '49 SA and do not see timing marks on the cam gear. Do I need stronger reading glasses or is this common?

I do have the old gear and can try to transfer the marks if necessary. Anyone else have this experience? Advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hello Mike welcome to YT. Sorry to hear you are having
troubles with parts from the YT store. In general the
quality of the parts YT sells rarely come up as an issue
here. If laying one on top the other and comparing the
new to old and you do not see a mark then there
probably is not one present provided you are looking at
the correct side. If you do not find them you only have
two choices. Mark it by comparing to the old or have
them send you different gears. From my understanding
on a problem like this I am quite certain someone will
physically check the 2nd set of gears to verify they
have marks before they ship them to you.

I appreciate the prompt response. Will have another set of eyes on it tomorrow and if no marks will reach out to YT by phone. Seems like cheap insurance to replace with a marked gear if possible; it takes a little time and energy to get that far in.
