If it's a flat tappet cam then you need a cast iron gear. If it's a roller you need a steel one. Bronze gears work but wear out after about 10,000 miles and need to be replaced. If you've got the right type of gear then I'd suggest the oil pump thing that Eddy351 mentioned. If you have a roller cam and iron distributor gear, check your oil for metal shavings.
