215k miles and no cam wear BRM
Reading the camshaft failure threads for several years, I’ve been checking for wear a few times and counting on having to replace the cam. Instead, I have even chamfer lines on all of the lobes from the base circles to the tips. I looked from all angles from the front and used a mirror to check the lifter faces from the back. I couldn’t see any dishing on the lifter faces.
After I read about the cam problems years ago, I switched to Mobil-1 TDT. I try
to change it every 10k, but sometimes it’ll end up to be 12k or more. Recently, I accidentally let it go for closer to 20k!
Are there some engines that don’t have the cam issue?
