Scissors gear

An system comprising:

• an internal combustion engine having a camshaft thereon;
• a scissors gear coupled to said camshaft, wherein said scissors gear comprises a main gear and a bias gear comprising a common axis of rotation;
• a pin extending through said main gear and said bias gear, comprising a lobe, and radially disposed away from said common axis of rotation;
• wherein said pin has a first rotational position and a second rotational position;
• and
• wherein in said first rotational position said lobe is clear of said bias gear, and wherein in said second rotational position said lobe alters a rotational alignment of said bias gear relative to said main gear.

A method comprising:

• passing a component through a first hole defined in a main gear and a second hole defined in a bias gear, wherein said main gear and said bias gear define a scissors gear;
• engaging said component with said main gear and said bias gear such that teeth on said bias gear are aligned with teeth on said main gear;
• coupling said scissors gear to a camshaft on an internal combustion engine;
• disengaging said component from said main gear and said bias gear.

An apparatus comprising:

• a main gear and a bias gear, wherein said main gear and said bias gear comprise a shared axis of rotation;
• said main gear defining a first hole and a third hole, wherein said first hole and said third hole are displaced radially from a center of said main gear;
• said bias gear defining a second hole and a fourth hole, wherein said second hole and said fourth hole are displaced radially from a center of said bias gear, and wherein said bias gear comprises a biasing component;
• wherein said bias gear has at least a first rotational position relative to said main gear and a second rotational position relative to said main gear;
• and
• wherein in said first rotational position said second hole at least partially overlaps said first hole, and wherein in said second rotational position said third hole and said fourth hole are aligned.

An apparatus comprising:

• a main gear and a bias gear, wherein said main gear and said bias gear comprise a shared axis of rotation;
• said main gear defining a first hole, a third hole, and a fifth hole, wherein said first hole, said third hole, and said fifth hole are displaced radially from a center of said main gear;
• said bias gear defining a second hole, a fourth hole, and a sixth hole, wherein said second hole, said fourth hole, and said sixth hole are displaced radially from a center of said bias gear, and wherein said bias gear comprises a biasing component;
• wherein said bias gear has at least a first rotational position relative to said main gear and a second rotational position relative to said main gear;
• and
• wherein in said first rotational position said second hole at least partially overlaps said first hole, and said fifth hole at least partially overlaps said sixth hole.
