Roller cams have a steel gear, whereas flat cams have a cast gear. The gear on the distributor should be made of the same material as that on the cam. Otherwise, the weaker of the two will wear out faster. This not only causes the gear to fail, but leaves metal deposits it the oil, which your bearings aren't too fond of. Bronze gears can be used with both types of cams, but should only be used for race engines that will be serviced regularly, due to their rapid deterioration.
Take care, -Chris
