There are a lot of thoughts on what causes cam / lifter failure so it would be good to have some details on maintenance and driving habits from the high mileage owners.
Those of you with over 150k miles( past when a lot of cams & lifters initially fail) give us your stats:
- how many miles
-Oil: brand, weight, Synthetic or Dino, filter used
-Oil change miles interval
- Idling hours and Driving hours as read off the dash data
- Do you have a catch can
- has your Cam and / or lifters ever been replaced, if so at what mileage
-Foot details: eggshell friendly or solid lead
