I've been looking at the Hughes "OIL PUMP DRIVE SHAFT W/COATED STEEL GEAR". I really want to run a street hydraulic roller in a 383 but the choice of gear is concerning me. I've done some searches and the choices seem to be brass or coated steel (Melonized). I see Comp offers a composite gear but not for a BB. The comments I've read about the bronze gear seem to be like going to Vegas, you never know how it is going to end until after it's ended. Can't find much on the coated gear. What are your recent experiences with drive gears for street roller camshafts?
