Distributor Gear

Does any one know how the life of the Comp Cams Polymer distributor gear holds up on solid roller cams?

I would not mind once a season. Better then 25 hours.

You might want to order the cam with a cast gear so you can run the stock distributor gear. It keeps a lot of bronze out of the motor, stops the timing from bouncing around, and eliminates the occasional tow when the bronze gear lets go.

Re: Distributor Gear

The cam did come with cast gear. It went south in 21 hrs. I would rather have bronze floating around than steel.

Re: Distributor Gear

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I have 5 seasons on the stock distributor gear.
