Isn't this lovely. My JWT cams are wearing abnormally. Well, only the exhaust cam is wearing. The oiling tubes are clean and clear. Tonight I am going to check to make sure oil is getting to the tube.

yea, our c3's are doing the same thing, very strange wear pattern, but they still seem to work just fine.

I seem to be down on lowend power but I think that could be the cracked header. Have you mic'd your cams to see how much wear is there? I plan to do that this week too.

Any chance these didn't go through a proper heat treatment/hardening?

Lastly, with dinosaur V8's anyways, they always recommended replacing the lifters when putting in a new cam. Did JWT recommend new rockers in case the old ones were worn?
