Yeah, on my PV's orginal B18 the fiber gear came loose from the hub. Revved up it was completely quiet, no indication of any problems at all. But at idle it made the most amazing clatter, sounded like a semi truck diesel engine. When I pulled the timing gear cover off, the fiber portion of the gear actually fell off. It was only being kept on the splines by bouncing off the timing cover apparently. Still, never stranded me - I must have driven it about 40 miles in that condition.
