nocig,
I am staying out of the cam discussion.
I would like to say that I dont like guys pulling oil pans and bearings to "just check them". You can accomplish the same thing by getting a $40 oil filter cutter and opening the filter on every oil change, stretching the paper out and looking for any bearing material. If the filter is clean, leave it alone. Too much chance to mess something up by pulling rod and main caps and looking at bearings.
Just my opinion,
Happy 2008 to all![Smilie](/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

nocig,the cam you have is a valve -spring killer.big lift and long duration are killers of the spring,not to mention more wear and strain on the valve train.just my 2cents worth.good luck with your project.
