Two out of the three gears still had portions of the ID still black in color and fit looser on the crank. I do have one that cleaned up on the ID and is a good sliding fit on the crankshaft. I don't know if that could be a potential problem at 150 Hertz, but just trying to keep everything straight and round.
I don't actually know the legal answer to the question (but it may be worth the asking of the proper tech person), but...can you legally overbore the ID and press fit a brass bushing to correct the ID of the hole for correct centering and true up of those cam/crank gear sets?
