Roller timers get ruined because folks don't lubricate them properly. Ford recommended packing the timer with Vaseline, then oiling it at every gas fill up.
My grandfather tried packing the timer with wheel bearing grease. Our family has found that it works fabulously. Just use either brown or red grease, not the black grease that contains molybdenum which will short out the timer. I try and change the grease every 1000 miles or so. When you do this, there is no wear. None. Car runs great. Easy. Cheap. Simple.
