Those tensioners look great for 25K+.  I've seen them worn down 1/16" at 20K.  I don't understand why the wear is so inconsistent unless it is the tension as you say.  Regardless, those tensioners are the weak link in an otherwise strong chain.  The question I have is what type of wear are the inner and outer bearings going to get with gear drive cams since there is no "give" with gears like there is with the chains?

Well here is what Andrews has to say about it.  They are mostly talking about changing from the roller bearings that are on the rear cam to ball bearings.  Makes sense and I would guess the loads would be less on the inner bearings also.  Now one of the guys at Zippers was telling me that if you have a crank bearing issue, it's gonna show up alot quicker with the gear drive cams and it's possible the gear drives if incorrectly installed could make it worse, this is the guy that puts the new Timken bearings into the cases, he showed me a few of the ones that failed, didn't look like alotta fun.

---------------------------

Since gear drives generate much lower bearing loads than chain drives, there is no need for roller bearings. Also, gear drive cams with roller bearings will make more noise during engine operation.

I don't know how to get it back together, but I do recognize the part you got showing. Now I know why it was smart/cheaper to replace the oil pump while doing the cam upgrade. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Yeah it just sorta slides out from there.......I'm not doing a new one, this one is in great shape, no pitting at all and I've always carried better than average oil pressure, did do the Zippers bypass shim, if the bypass was leaking that'll take care of that, if it wasn't, well I blew $5.40...  [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

Hell the hard part was done. puting it back together is the easy part. Not tooooo sure I would have left the stock pump in there though.

Good Luck finishing it up.
