I was thinking about the way the cam lobes are lubricated in the original c=
onfiguration ( stock parts). Please chime in if this is way off.=20
It would seem most of the lubrication comes from the steady drip that comes=
out at the rocker and runs down the pushrod. First the tappets (lifters) g=
et some oil, then passes by the lifter and then on to the cam lobe.=20
The oil dripping from the rocker shaft bushings drips onto the top of the h=
ead and drops through the pushrod holes to the lifter gallery. On some worn=
out engines this is a flood instead of a drip. Then you have the oil fog t=
hat is in the crank case/oil pan area when the engine is running due to the=
squirt of oil coming out of the piston rods big ends. The intent was to oi=
l down the piston bores but coats pretty much everything.
The bucket lifters, which by the way was an old hot rod trick from the earl=
y days of Austin Healeys, using lighter weight lifters out of a straight ei=
ght Oldsmobile (if I remember correctly) and longer pushrods may or may not=
be drilled to allow oil to the cam lobe/lifter face. Some guys used pressu=
rized oil to squirt the interface when the bucket was not drilled. The buck=
et lifters sold years ago that did not have a hole in the lifters had failu=
re problems. A hole was added but the problem with the drilled hole in the =
bucket it could clog and there was little to no lubrication of the cam lobe=
s, thus major wear. =C2=A0
I=E2=80=99m not suggesting that the can lobe failure was caused by a plugge=
d hole in the lifter since I did not work on this engine. But it is a possi=
bility.=20

Hello everyone, I recently completed=C2=A0a rebuild of the engine in my Hea=
ley 3000. At 48K miles i noticed metal during an oil change. I dropped my o=
il pan and found even more metal and a silver ring in the block that lined =
up with a cam lobe. I had been using Mobil 1 for years and always had good =
oil pressure and a very quiet motor.=C2=A0 I pulled the motor and upon tear=
down I found one bad cam lobe and several lifters that had mild pitting.=C2=

=A0 I drove my car every couple of weeks in nice weather. This is just enou=
