Default G5X3 Cam

Anyone having lifter problems after installing this cam? My motor made it 500 miles before an oem lifter **** the bed and took out the cam! Anyone else have similar experiences?

Thats good to here! It may just be one of those things!I put all new lifters in it now along with another new G5X3. I was tempted to get the G5X4.

No issues with my X3 and X4, used Comp 921's on both cams, had 100k miles on the lifters, they seemed ok when I removed them for the heads and cam swap just last week. Too bad I never got to see what the heads and custom cam could do.

I have an X4 I am going to be selling, along with the 921's. There's one person interested in it right now, but I will let him know when I have them boxed and ready, if he backs out, they are up for grabs. Maybe 10k miles on the stuff.

Use Crane replacements, or at least Comp 850-16.
