Help! Wiped cam lobes? - Video inside

Wow, that lobe and lifter are reeeally bad. The collapsed lifters explains the loose pushrods/rockers in post #1.

BTW, when you say you lubed up the cam, is that just oil or what? There should be some cam lube in a packet that comes with the cam or you can get separately. I would suggest the black moly based cam lube; smear it all over the lobes through the lifter bores (easy to do BEFORE the timing chain is on) and then on the bottoms of the lifters. Oil the bejesus out of everything else that moves.

Glad you are making progress.
