hi ,
roller cams in a street motor ae plain STUPID !
my street hemi has a hyd. roller cam , i did not build it , same issue .
you can buy a melonized treated metal gear about 200.00 i jut got one an have not intalled it yet .
wish it was just a flat tappet cam no hassels with correct oils .
how many records are u gona set on the street anyway !
The only issue i can see is just the bronze gear and that have been an issue for quite long time. Its amazing that this issue havent been sorted out yet, like a composite gear for Mopar, or a steel gear like for Ford. Its the melonized that is a alternative for Mopar but they say not to used with high volyme pump and not on used cam.
