Todd Hedges HI. What distributor do you have? there are 3 types of gear material for dist. gears. Broze iron and steel. What cam shaft was installed? There are two differant size gears. .467 and .531. If you have the wrong gear it will shave the gears offon one side. Do you have a billet cam shaft or iron cam shaft? You need bronze with a billet shaft Call the engine builder and ask? Your cam shaft may be walking in the bearings and shaving the gear also. Let's do the basics first, check the cam and type of gear needed. Check the end play on your Distributor, there is a spec of about .35 to .50.CHECK with dist for end play number. You may have the right cam and wrong gear? Get back to us Rick Lake
