Bronze gears don't seem to last long anyway.

If it's eating iron and steel gears, then I would look to how it's installed on the distributor. There is a spec dimension on how the gear should be installed, you can't just line the holes back up and put the pin in.

Roller cams are either an austempered core, which requires an iron gear, or they're a steel core, which needs a steel gear, composite, etc.
