I have a Comp Cams Hydraulic Roller Retrofit Cam .549/.544. I wondering if anyone has used the Crane steel Distributor gear? They claim can be used on a billet steel cam instead of a bronze gear that comp recommends. My car is a street strip car thank you for the help

The crane gears DO work as long as the cam is brand new.


Take care,

Is your roller cam a steel billet core or a cast endural core ?(they look like the stock OEM cams)

This makes no sense to me. The cam does not wear (if previously used with bronze gear), has no special coating, etc. so what difference does it make if its new or not? I open to an explanation but I suspect this is an old wives tale perpetuated by right-wing liberal religious fanatics intent on striking fear into the average joe.
