Lmao
It,s not the angle of the dangle ...It's the bore of the ***** :D
Spring pressures and ramp angles:confused:
But seriously Blown, I dunno.
Speculation: When I put a 1990 fuelie 318 into my 1983 Ramcharger, I switched to a 4-bbl manifold. I saw the roller lifters and chain. All new motors have 'em...probably to help meet epa mileage requirements...
I guess they'll last longer in my case because I'm rarely above 3500 rpm and have wimpy stock valve springs.
Off the top of my head, that's all I care to speculate.

Probably because aftermarket roller cams are billet. And you have to use a bronze gear. Where the factory rollers probably have a cast camshaft and therefore you use a steel gear.
Seems the cam grinders were offering some options for a cast gear on roller cams. Thought it was comp cams offering that.
I use a Super Mag III. Hard on the bronze gears.:mad:
Oh...Blown was asking about the gears. I missed that one...:rolleyes:
