In the December TSO, Jim Finne wrote of his observations of wear on
camshafts of larger-than-original cam circle when installed with certain
lifters.
Has anyone opened an engine since reading that article to see if the
problem exists in other engines? Would it be worthwhile to do so, or
just to run the engine until the cam (presumably already damaged at this
time) is worn away?
In this part of CT, most I have asked about this think that changing to
synthetic oil is worthwhile; all say that leaving the cam and lifters
alone is the right thing to do.
