Hmm...new EFI motor, popped in my cam from the dead 300 in, timing gear (note I didn't say gears) and all. Get it running and this is what I hear... www.bigblocksix.com/wildjon3006/SOunds/Whine.wav

If I leave it will it be fine until I'm annoyed enough to change the crankshaft timing gear from my old motor in, or is it one of those "get that sucker out of there ASAP" type of situations? I'm about to take a nice looooooong drive down to Statesboro tommarow or Monday depending on whether I should change the gear or not.
Warning, turn down your volume before listening.

Hmm...my dumbass self forgot to change the stock crank timing gear that's matched to the phenolic to the one that's matched for my steel cam gear. Problem solved....
