Oil Pump Gears

[BurnTire]

Has anyone heard if they are going to use billet oil pump gears in the 2015?

Most likely not billet, since even the Aluminator came with a powdered metal gear "plastic" basically. The only engine that came with a billet gear was the Cobra Jet. So I foresee the same thing happening again, a saying comes to mind "history repeats itself".

Did the bosses come with Billet oil pump gears? I doubt this motor is going to get them.

Are there issues with the plastic ones?

they are not plastic! it is metal and made using a different method that makes it a bit weaker than typical billet steel. I still dont think it is absolutely necessary if you are not constantly revving past 7000 rpm.

The "plastic" comment was me being sarcastic, it really isn't plastic. But going above the recommended revolutions will make it turn into plastic hahahaha.
