Whoa! That gear from Hughes isn't "composite", its a coated steel gear. I'd take their advice about not using it on a used cam. But it would still be nice to know why not!



they told me that little bits of bronze from the gear are embedded on the surface of the teeth on the cam, and those will wear into the composite gear, destroy the coated surface and then it will wear just like a regular gear.

i was told if i wanted to use it on a used cam, that i would have to take the cam out and clean the teeth thoroughly.
