Wiped Cam Lobe Theory - Imput Wanted:

How can you tell if a lobe is wiped?
I have my intake off now and can see the cam and lifters
What should i be looking for?
Put the rockers on that puppy and spin it over, if a lobe is wiped youll notice the valve doesnt lift as much as the others...

Inertia, my rod bearings did have the holes to lube the "squirters" the only thing i can think of as to why i lost a cam lobe is maybe the lobe itself was soft. My block was freshly machined and i even honed the lifter bores to ensure all lifters moved free and smooth, once installed i turned it over by hand to make sure the lifters all spun.
Maybe some of these cams arent made of the metals they once were?
