Reply to "COMPOSITE DIZZY GEARS"

Ok here is the problem.

I have a roller cam. Most likely it was made by Comp Cams. It has already had about 2500 miles on it with a bronze gear that has now failed.

Based on the earlier post I cannot use a steel gear because:

A)I don't know exactly what type of core I have. The engine builder (MCKeown Motorsport Engineering)regards every part of the motor some big proprietary secret.

B)Based on the earlier post by Dan Jones referenced here, once a gear of another type of material has been used, a steel gear cannot be then substituted.

So my choices are another bronze gear, a composite gear or start over with a new cam and steel gear.

So again I ask the forum members what can you tell me about the reliability and wear characteristics of Comp Cams Poly Composite Distributor gears with a roller cam core?
