yea like the title says. After pulling the valve cover i have discovered that the lobes on the cams are worn severly. but the weird thing is EVERY lobe on the intake and ehaust cam is worn evenly about 1/3 of the way in. Its like the sides of the lobe are fine and then were the lobe actually touches the rocker is worn in bout 1/3 of the way. I am fairly new to DSM's but not new to turbo cars. Another question... where could all of that metal gone... is this being caused by not enough oil getting to the head orrr... i dunno any suggestions would b nice. The car drives perfect but makes like no power after 4-5k rpms. i have a set of cams and a spare head.... but i want to know if this is just going to happen to the next set i put in or..... any suggestions would be great..... thanks in advance
