I won’t recommend you do it, but being reckless for the sake of curiosity I would try the Melonized gear on the comp cam and throw a blue bottle of STP and a NAPA gold filter at it. If it’s a hardened billet core then the thin teeth of drive gear is probably going to be case hardened deeper than any other part of the cam. It would probably have to eat a hundred bronze distributor gears before it had something that even resembles a wear pattern. But, since you’ve talked to someone at Comp, did you find out if they have attempted doing this before to confirm it before advising their customers to do so?
