Re: camshaft won't last wtf !!!!!

What kind of oil are you using. Todays oils are not meant for anything but a roller cam. Breakin with a can of OES suppliment (if you can find it) and use a good synthetic off road oil like Lucas or the 'real' Royal Purple (not the API starburst stuff in the discount parts houses)
This is exactly why I gave up building flat tappet motors. You can't get the cams to survive with confidence. Besides, the added performance offered by accelerated valve actiuon of a roller is just a plus.

I just did my taxes and reviewed my SS statement. Thanks to the current administration it looks like I will only have to work till noon on the day of my funeral.
