I see no way the distributor gear you lost could have disentegrated in such a short time unless other factors contributed.A bronze gear is standard with retro roller conversions and of course much softer than steel(that is the idea,wear the bronze gear not he cam gear)There must have been an alignment problem or otherfactor.Look up Butcher's build page,he has a wealth of info on the subject.I also do not see the composite gear as likely to wear out the cam gear,they are not made of ceramic. chuck
