I know it's a no-no to use anything but a nice brass gear for solid roller lifters but is there anything wrong in using the same brass gear with flat tappet solid lifters? Don't do that Use a stock OEM drive

Don't do that Use a stock OEM drive Cab.. what is the reasoning for this.. my thoughts were that you didnt use the OEM on the roller due to the hardness of the cam and it pounding back and forth on the lobes(as it came off the lobes)

What I have been doing lately is rounding the edges on the camshaft gear itself . And this process has greatly added to the life of distributor gear... a lot of times the cams have very sharp edges..

Are you talking a roller cam and bronze gear.. I have a solid flat tappet and bronze gear.. I didnt have any stock gears laying around so I uses a bronze that was on the shelf.. it was new.. it has a couple hundred miles on it

If the roller cam gear is bronze, don't you want a like metal gear to mesh with it? Same is true the other way around? It's all antiquated engineering now. Everything uses belts. There are ways to not run gears in the engine. Well its in there and will run till it starts to fail.. at that time I will change.. till then its a test
