What would cause a steelgear to go south after only a few hours. I replaced the entird dist. with a new MSD unit and the gear is already showing wear after 3-4 hours. Would a HV oil pump throw too much pressure back on the dist shaft?

With a hydralic roller msd says you should run a bronze gear that may be your problem.
