Default How many miles on your cam?
Particularly on a C1 or TR224 range cam. Any problems and have you changed valvesprings yet?

Thanks in advance.

Not a TR224, but close:

TR220
220/220 .553"/.553" 114 LSA

TEA 5.3L heads with 918 springs

8,000 miles. No problems what so ever.

Not a TR224 either but my 224 XE-R cam is harsher on the valve train. Have ~3,000 miles not problems.

The hydrolic roller cams will last well over 100K. Not sure about the solid roller cams.
