Proibe If you run an external
oil pump or dry sump, you should never have to worry about the dist gear. Make sure the end play is no greater than.004 on the cam. If you put a small groove in the lower housing of the distrubutor this will help lube where the gears meet and prevent wear out. Comp Cams sells a polymer gear. I have one but have not but it in a motor yet. Was told it is as strong as steel and will not wear. Is this motor an endurance boat motor from the spec I see? What are the tork readings, hp is great. This are a different combo than anyone else runs, like to see how it works out. Rick Lake
