Will the new camshaft's iron composition be compatible with the steel oil pump/distributor gear? JOHNCL

Yes, they are compatible and submerged in pressurized oil from the main oil galley. Without knowing the hardness of the oil pump/distributor gear, I cannot comment on which part will wear first.
