Reply to "COMPOSITE DIZZY GEARS"

Brooke, I don't know anyone with a bronze gear that doesn't have accelerated wear issues, I don't like them.

Cams ground from steel cores like those used by Crane for their roller cams require a steel gear, cams ground from iron cores should be able to run with a standard gear.

Crane sells a steel gear for the 351C Ford dizzy, I'll bet they have one for the Chrysler Hemi too.

The issue with dizzy gear wear cropped up at the same time when lobe & lifter wear became an issue, and is caused by the same circumstances, i.e. the reduction in the amount of ZDDP in motor oil.

Chuck that bronze gear, install the proper gear for the type of cam core that's in your motor, and make sure your motor oil has some ZDDP in it.
