I'm nearly positive my camshaft needs to be replaced. The car is an '05 with 137K on the clock. It makes a lot of lifter noise when its cold and lacks power.
I removed the valve cover to inspect the cam and was happy when I didn't see any copper streaks on the lobes. Closer examination revealed that the camfered edge appears pretty much gone on almost every lobe. If anyone is willing to take a look at a couple of pictures to help me confirm this diagnosis I would appreciated it. Evidently, I haven't been a member long enough to post images.
