There must be something wrong as alloy gears normally are litte louder but certainly not annoying.
Are you sure it doesn't have straight cut gears?
Also, I believe you can't use aftermarket alloy cam gears and the original Holden crank gear together as the angle of the teeth is different.
And, if my memory is correct, Holden alloy replacement cam gears (as fitted to starfire) are the same cut as the fibre gear.
Fibre would be a step backwards unless it is a stock weekender.

there were 2 different cam gears for the holden sixes,i think it was the vk black motor which had much more pointy crank and cam gear teeth,if this gear is fitted to an earlier model motor it is very noisy,if you compare the early gear to the later one the difference is obvious,i have only seen this once,cheers Rodney
