I got 70k out of them. No part last forever. Probably should not have gone with the big lift cam. I would not say they are trash tons of people use them. They definitely are not the best either. I just think they have a shelf life and need to be exchanged probably every 50k or so.

Now that I see your new cam specs, I would not have used them with that...

How bad does the lobe look?

New heads?

By any chance did you look at the oil before pulling it down?

So the truck is all apart. Cam is out. A couple of lobes had some markings on them.


The heads are off getting a valve job, new springs and cnc porting.

I am gonna start ordering parts in the next couple of days and i have to clean alot of parts so that is next.

Busy busy.
