    Ok has anyone had any problems with thier cam gear wearing really bad. I was just wondering.

    What causes this?

    If you use a stock pump with a booster plate will it cause excessive where on the gear.

    Without pulling the dist, how can you tell if you have a gear wearing really bad?

    thanks

    gear wear

    High oil pressure(hard on pump and gears),cam walk,timing cover
    wear is where I would start looking first,I had one eat up a couple of
    gears and found out after a couple of camshafts that it was the dist shaft that was wore out.I would pull it apart and check for shaft wear.
