So what is the general thinking on cam shaft gear makeup? the old fiber one looks to be in good shape.I have a generator and have read I believe that the fiber with a generator is a no no.SO?...aluminum or bronze...the dang bronze is 150?My budjet is in serious turmoil so IF it is not too terrible of me I need to reuse the fiber...but would hate to make the fatal misjudgement...I also heve some wear on the #1 cam lobe where the lifter does not ride there is a ledge where the lifter does contact...I guess I really should do a cam and lifters...OPINIONS...? I can post a pic of the lobe and check lift with a dial indicator if that would help...JUUST when I was thinking I would get something accomplished...

also..what amount of clearence do you fellas look for on the mains and rods?
Thanks,Aaron
