OK, so I'm a thick headed Italian and it takes me a while to get things through my skull. I'm still confused a bit. If I understand correctly, the cam mounted gear that drives the distributor gear on a hydraulic roller is harder than that same gear on a solid roller????? Why? 
As an aside, I distinctly remember some small cam company somewhere that had a setup that mounted their flat tappet cams in an electric motor driven device of some sort, and mounted the lifters in their proper position, and loaded the lifters down with springs. They then spun this contraption and broke in the cam on it before they sent it to you. Obviously, you would have to keep track of which lifter went onto which lobe, but that shouldn't be too difficult. Does anyone remember who this company is and if the technique works? I don't see whay it wouldn't be successful, and if it is why isn't everyone with a flat tappet cam doing it? It rather the lobes, if bad, went flat on the break-in machine than inside my engine.....
