Reply to "COMPOSITE DIZZY GEARS"

Exactly .. we use cast gears on stock engines and comp and crane recommend steel on steel .. in both trans, rears, and everything else in the usa .. the idea of possibly coating the cam is a little overthinking the issue ..but it may save us , you, me or them from having to replace a cam IF the steel on steel combo dont work .. ME I alreayd have steel on steel and owned FORDS my whole life ..and as a young guy building hot rods never had this problem ....MY 351C gear issue was from POOR assembly ... the gear broke one night on my way home from a cruze night on 287 ..I tore her apart and found PERMTEX that was applied to the scrw in OIL PUMP pick up and applied in the THREADS of the pump ... In the PIPEFITTING industry thats a NO NO .. of whichone of them is exactly what happened ..the compund ends up dislodging itself and some where either in a pump or piece of equipment jambing or clogging it up.
