And the moral to the story is.........They both work. If geardrives were bad, they would not be on the market because people would be breaking engines with them. There is no "kind of broken" with a chain or gear drive, If either breaks, the results will be bad. Run what you want, they both work well and high performance engine builders across the land use both as well......Good luck
Exactly, both work fine, it's simply "which one do you want to use?"
