Posted this in Forced Induction and hondaguyef said I should post in here as well.

I'm very tired so I am going to make my post short. Dropped the oil pan to have a look today. Changed oil and filter. Took the valve cover off to look things over. Found a hairline crack in one of my camshaft lobes. A lot of wear for cams these new too. Going to look at the rocker arm pads this week.





They are OEM cams that are cold welded and regrinded to my specs. My only guess is the company that did the work for me didnt do the process right Ideas?

 

Improper lash will cause excessive wear and fatigue fractures.

 

In 5,000 miles (total miles on the motor) I have set the valve lash three times.

 

regrinds

 

The first picture is of another camshaft lobe. Saw this while rotating the camshafts.

A lot of companies use regrinds and they don't have issues ( well most of the time they don't )

 

I would call who ever made them and see what they'll do for you. In a lot of cases, all it takes is asking and you get what you want. If you get another set and they are bunk, then get mad. Be happy you caught it before a chunk flew off.

 

In contact with them now. We will see

 

Update: The vendor here I bought the camshafts from is not with the company any more. It will be a couple more days now that I have to contact someone else at this company. Sucks because he was the only one I spoke with at the company.
