no, I bought that gear for that reason....the first time I had the original steel gear and ended damaging the cam, Shaun then told me to buy this polymer gear so that the gear would get damaged and no the cam.....I called cam comp cams and they said usually that gear doesn't get damaged thay quick and to send it in for replacement

You could try a brass one, its stronger than that plastic gear and still softer than the cam so it should last. I had one in the past and it held up really well.
