Reply to "distributor gear lubrification?"

blakeMTN KAT

I was breaking in a new engine and after 20 min on the dyno, the distributor gear was done - three teeth completely gone and the rest sharpened to points. The cam also went flat. I had installed my old Duraspark distributor that was taken from another engine. This engine was a 14 year old build that had never been started - took my chances.
After this incident, a friend and I took it apart. We changed the bearings, new camshaft, new standard oil pump(not high volume as was installed initially) and are in the process of reassembling. I purchased a new "ready to run" MSD distributor with drive gear. For break in, I bought the Brad Penn break-in oil. All surfaces are freshly lubed and a Kevco 9 qt pan is installed.
I am trying to ensure that the distributor gear is not detroyed prematurely. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
