I'm installing a custom billet cam in my hemi head project. Originally I had a Erson 270 cam and homemade rockers. Well that didn't work so good. Now I'm going to use the factory 5.7 rockers but that requires a custom cam.
My question is... do I need a bronze oil pump gear or will the non-hardened steel gear work? I don't want to chew up my cam.

I think the pump gear is the weak link here.

....and thanks for the prototype head to try on my new shortblock....it looks very cool in the box.

No problem Sandy, but it did take me awhile to build that wooden box.
Now what about the gear?
