Bronze Oil Pump Drive Gear

Ok I THINK I have this straight. My previous machinist was an idiot in giving me this hunk of bronze and the tech at comp cams was incorrect, and I was simply ignorant by installing it in the first place. I do not need a bronze gear for the intermediate shaft. Bronze gears are only for solid roller cams, not hydraulic. I looked up several hydraulic roller cams on comp cams website and they all list no special instructions or cautions for a hyd roller. When you browse their solid rollers, they require you to buy their bronze gears.

DartFred, you do NOT need a bronze gear for the intermediate shaft. But please double check my work. If it is a billet gear it will be shiny like the lobes, not a dull black like every other gear.
