The reason they have palstic or resin gears is to keep the noise down. I've had many late 60's early 70's engines have chains jump, or worse, plastic pieces come off the gears, and jam up the oil pump. fun!. you can really hear those metal gears whirring. Dunno 'bout later vehicles. kinda stopped caring about '82-up.
