Thanks for all the input guys!
Mike55 and David,
I think you got things confused on your last note. Hydraulic ROLLER cams are made from steel. Standard, or flat tappet cams are nodular iron. You cannot use an iron gear with a steel cam - the cam will chew the iron up. You can also use a bronze gear with a steel cam, the steel chews it up still, but takes smaller bites.
With the steel cam I have, I need to use a steel gear or a bronze gear. I would rather use the steel gear - as I don't want to be changing this thing out every 1000 miles.
David I think you had it right the first time. Jack21 also has the answer. Ford Racing part # M-12390-F is a steel gear, with an inside diameter of 0.531" (page 63, 2001 Catalog) Lists for $29.95.
