I had my original cam replaced at 197k with the Estas Billet cam that IDparts sells and I currently have 262k miles on my car.
I don't have any timing tools but I did pull the valve cover and I noticed that some of the lobes had wear on them. The lobes have some uneven wear with some flat spots, but my car drives fine. I wasn't able to turn the engine over by hand so I was only able to inspect what was showing.
There is 65k miles on this cam and I have replaced the oil every 10k miles with Rotella 5w40.
I don't think that the cam will make it another through another timing belt change and I guess that I probably should just change the cam now. I have decided to go with the Colt stage 2 cam because Kerma has them on sale and an additional coupon code.
I am curious if any Colt stage 2 owners have had failures.
Also, since my lifters and bearings don't have many miles on them do they need to be changed.
