Yep, me too. I had the engine built and fired the first time 4 years ago. I ran it altogether for about 1-2 hours. While it was being painted and other wise sitting in limbo waiting for more time, money and other parts, I learned about cams being wiped out because the govt made the oil companies take out zinc. I bought a bottle of the additive and put it in. There's not much I can do now. If the cam is going bad it's going bad. The only way to find out is to run it.

The springs in the heads are plenty stout.
