Mine seems to be ticking more than normal. I'm getting longer pushrods because i found out mine are too short. Gunna give that a shot first. Does Comp have the same problem that Futral has had in the past with the cams?

havent heard of any problems with them,
i bought a used comp cam and have probably 10k miles on mine with no problems

I sure hope mine is fine. I thought I heard that Comp had a few bad ones out but not sure.

I installed 3 different comp cams, never any problems...

I had one comp cam go bad on me. It lasted a long time but a lifter went out and killed the cam.

Purdueranger. That's not a cam failing, that's another part causing damage to the cam.

well, maybe after i get the longer pushrods it will be ok. I hope.

Buddy of mine had one go. Had a chunk of lobe come off. Very dead LS1 after that This was a few years ago though.

I'm running a Comp in my goat. Hopefully no problems will ever come of it.

7 different comp cams over the last 10 years on different cars. Never a failure or problem related to the cam.

wonder why a chunk would come off the lobe??

Futral does not use comp cams, they are using cammotion IIRC. Now, whether the cores are the same...?

Comp did go public with break-in related problems on flat tappet cams. That was primarily due to lower zinc content and higher spring pressures (improper break-in) and is not an issue with Hydraulic Roller cams.

edit - I have heard of the lifter retainer failing and allowing the lifter to rotate and turn the side of the roller into the lobe. That would chew a lobe up fast.

Couldn't tell you. Most of one lobe came apart. Pictures were taken but I can't seem to find them. Probably deleted over the years...
