Well, looks like the time has come.
Took me reviewing my pics from yesterday to realize, YUP, new cam time.
We got this '01 (Wife's) August of last year, but I just now got around to inspecting the cam. Slowly getting over my hesitation on tackling certain tasks. Cam/lifter replacement I'll be outsourcing
This car lived it's life up until August 2018 on Castrol 5w-40 synthetic supplied by the PO's dealership.
I've been using Liqui-Moly fully synth.
Question: I'm wondering if I should have the valve seals/guides redone at the same time. How much would that add in labor roughly? And would the head have to come off for that? Anyway, enjoy the pic :-\ Be sure and check the hi-rez. Ugh.
And and a different lobe:
