I had the same issue back in 2016. -9 billet steel core comp cam solid roller with an MSD distributor and bronze gear. Running a 460BB. My car just randomly quit running and I found the bronze gear wore away. I called Comp Cams and they told me to use a bronze gear but it would only be good for about 2500 miles as a wear part. Blykins told me to install a crane 5971 coated steel gear for my application so I went with that. I've got about 8K miles on it and both the the cam gear and distributor gear look perfect. I've checked the wear 3 times in that 8K miles just to be sure and I'm totally confident in it at this point.
