Default Re: (reground) cam went flat?

WTF.

Paul why did your wifes cam wipe out?

Now for all the smart guys out there that know it all.

Answer me this.

The last time i had my motor apart about 2 months ago i put 4 brand new GM lifters in the right side intake.(the side went bad)

Why only the new lifters went bad but my old 65k mile lifters are still good and i will be reusing them.

I've had my intake cams for over 2 years with no issues till lifter change.

Reason for changing lifters had a nosey one i had to hold 2k rpm for it to load up.

Two of the new lifters have started to show cracks the cam lobes look fine so basicly took out 3 out of 4 new lifters.

So please all you smart guys answer me the above question why they held up for 2 years but as soon as i put new lifters it breaks??
