Bruce, I won't take it wrong.
I got 2 gears in the shop from last summer. Both from high volume pump SBF. Both cars are fine today with new gear and stock pumps. I seen my first gear fail in 1989. The Ford dealer I worked for had circle track car that ate a gear up before he could finish a race. After replacing a lot of parts it turned out a pump was the problem. I'm not saying all HV /HP pumps will do this. I have seen 4 bad gears because of HV / HP pumps. I know one guy put 2 gears on before he came here. After a stock pump and gear change he has 2 years on that gear. When the car died he stuck a used distributor in it along the road to get it home. He didn't make it.
