Default Worn cam lobes?
I know its definatly possible but does anybody know how long it would take for the wear on cam lobes to become an issue as far as effecting power? Thanks!

With our hydraulic roller setup and assuming proper oil lubrication, there should never be a problem.

If a lobe where wearing down, I wouldn't worry about power output. I'd worry about where all the worn off metal material going into the oil.
