Comp Cams...trouble in paradise?

There are honest problems with some cams. But it's not that common, and the builder will only catch the most obvious ones (like being bent or physical damage, or variations in lift or placement if he really looks hard). Fact is, if they are losing a lot of cams, he's doing something wrong. Or a series of somethings... As a bulder there are a few steps that have to be taken now that were not so critical "back in the day". I have yet to lose any brands cam that I didn't screw up myself. The one I have lost was a hydraulic flat tappet that I ran roller lifters on when I was 17. It wasn't the lack of zink...lol.
