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.

x 2 on that. Take front cover off and check block to gear clearance.
On gears: I used to think that the Billet steel (mech & hyd roller) cams were alot harder than the "Cast" cams. But the opposit is the case. On billets you should use softer gears like composite or bronze.
On cast cams: steel/ iron gear. It has always worked for me.....?
