When your hot your hot even if the pump drive is not

This would be awesome to find out, I know I have at least one extra LA dist drive gear lying around, I'd need 2 for a proper test though to see how much torque it takes to break the tip off an untreated one vs. a heat-treated piece. If I can't find a second one I might try grabbing one from the junkyard next time I take a trip over there.

Has anyone actually tested how much torque it takes to break the tip off the oil pump drive shaft?
