The replacement gear STANDARD IGNITION DG-3 I received looks like steel. All surfaces are machined and it's anodized black. I have two used gears and both appear to be cast (rough casting everywhere but the teeth). I did the tap test, and both sound the same. Is there even an option for cast v. steel for the 2.3?
