Default Comp cams
Has anyone had any issues with cam failure? I have seen 2 comp cam with lobes wearing out within a year and contaminating the whole engine.

Any chance the failure was on the downward side of the lobe?

Sending my comp back tomorrow. I have CHUNKS missing out of the top of the cam lobe. Lifters are in pretty fair condition considering the damage to the cam.

Torn up on both side of lobe, ruined lifters too on the 5.3 and another one in a 6.2.
