I have this cam and have an ECS kit that I am going to have installed in March. Do you think your failure was related to the cam?

The third was wrong springs but I know that was not the case. That does not necessarily mean those are the answers so I really do not know. |

Great thread PQ! I don't have a cam....YET, but I am considering one this year. I'm very interested in this type of poll to see if there is a trend. I get very nervous when I read about all the carnage lately but I also know that it is probably a small percentage of cams out there that actually fail. I hope you are able to get yours all sorted this year and get that beast back on the road!

Thanks everyone for the participation. I'll go through all of it and try and put it all together at some point in a neat consolidation somehow when we get a really good pool.
Feel free to add info you feel relevant and I'll update the OP to coincide. Too many factors should not be a problem. Quote:
There will be people that will not participate because their cams are fine. Probably more likely to see failed guys on here. We'll see. Quote:

Correct. Such as what type of springs/push rods where they using? Did they ever do a trunion upgrade? etc... Just wondering if some of these failures may be caused from someone not wanting to spend the extra money and get quality parts.

Would be good to know of any valve train mods such as which springs, trunnions, pushrods, etc and also oil pump if changed.

PQ that is a great idea for a sticky with video attachments for those of us who will be doing or considering a cam install. My car is scheduled to go under the knife February 1st.
