Something isn't right..

Been seeing a lot of folks having new cams/lifters go bad very quickly. UTG talks about current quality control across the board is in the toilet. Local shop I work with told me yesterday that they built a flat tappet cam engine for a customer and the new lifters failed and ruined the cam.

Makes me wonder if people are not removing the inner springs or using a lighter spring / pressure for brake in... I know for my 2 year old Comp 285XL (that’s not a 4 speed friendly cam) the guy I had build it handed me a box with the inner springs when I picked up the motor. The cam my buddy lost last summer, he was being lazy and did not want to pull the springs....
