Wiped Cam Lobe Theory - Imput Wanted:

DARTH V8R said
Ok.. I must be stupid. Take away the crank splash, drain backs, & lifter gallery oil and just leave the rods to lube the cam. how long do you think the cam will last?

Stupid?, certainly not. You have an opinion as do other very knowledgeable members.

I now realize my mistake was asking for opinions, instead of asking only those that had experienced a lobe failure,

"Do you know if the bearing shell installed, had the squirt hole notch, Yes or No.??"

Hopefully that may narrow it down, hopefully not too far, cuz I find this very curious.

Thnx All again.. cheers

thnx jomoper
