Look at the size differences between Mopar, Ford and GM oil pump drive gears and then think about which one gets worn out quicker, hence all the effort to make THEM last longer
Flooding or increasing the oil to any of them probably doesn't hurt them, does it
Reading 50 pages of google says that no brand is having any better luck than the other when it comes to the gears and roller cam conversions. Everyone likes the melanized with fewer failures, but also reading that some steel roller cams don't agree with the melonized gears either, have to make a call to the cam company on Monday and see what the deal is with that.
I would have really like to have stayed flat tappet, but lately that looks to be an even bigger minefield than the distributor gear.... I don't know whats up with that, here we are in the modern machining world and 30 some years ago as teenagers we could throw [censored] together with little care and never scrub a cam.
