Hi y'all...

I run two roller cams in BBCs. One is hydraulic (.645, 230). The other is solid (.695,285). The hydraulic has gone over 30000 mi and the solid is over 7000mi.

Crane offers an iron gear option on their steel roller cams and I have it on both mine. This eliminates the dist gear wear problem and does not require the soft bronze dist gear either. As I recall you get it by putting "IG" at the end of the cam number for Iron Gear. You should really consider this gear option from Crane if you go roller.

All y'all have a nice day.
