Brooke you are aptly concerned about the bronze gear. I would not recommend anybody installing one in their motor. Unless you really like taking your motor apart frequently to remove the bronze metal shavings.

There are steel gears on the market for camshafts ground on a steel core (most roller cams) and there are iron gears on the market for camshafts ground on an iron core (flat tappet cams and Comp Cams retro-fit hydraulic roller cams). The quality of the gears on the market is variable, I wouldn't recommend anybody using a gear they picked up from Auto Zone. I haven't heard anything bad about the gears being sold by Crane Cams.
