That is probably the best way to approach it, I doubt that they would recompense you in full for any resultant damage to the cam plus whatever else might need replaced at same time as when you get wear in the distributor drive like this you also get into that area of erratic ignition timing etc, it all starts downhill from there.
I was a bit amused at the FAQ section on their website as to why they felt it was not necessary to run a large dia cap to prevent crossfire etc, with the reply being that it was better to ensure accurate timing control & have good conductivity in plugs/leads etc..sort of goes against their thinking when they put a product out like this that could lead to that very problem, especially with a wet sump pump & bronze gear for a roller cam...like a lot of stuff in the aftermarket, be careful about what you really will end up paying for..
