I think sometimes people look for solutions to problems and don't take the simple approach. The saying that sometimes the simple solutions are the best is true in this case. I have not had a problem with Ford cams for years. We use cams from many different manufacturers and the solution has been the same on all of them. Before we install, we burnish the cam on a wire wheel. Like I said we haven't had a problem for years. I do believe the manufacturers need to address the problem but their solution by creating a new gear isn't necessary. I can only speak from experience, but it's worked for us.
