Didn't you allready see the picture of the cam lobe missing peices of metal with a perfectly intact roller allready posted in the thread? I have had a boatload of 5.7s in my shop for cam replacement, there is ALLWAYS bad lobes with a otherwise perfect roller still rolling on it. The lifters fail AFTER the cam

Fact is camshafts or either cast or ground on a solid billet. What happens during a failure is another thing altogether.

The cams, whether Mopar, Ford, Honda or any other USA manufactured brand all come from one of two companies...CMC or CWC. And there are only a couple different materials and heat treat procedure for every cam made. Tried and true formulas.

The LS I believe oils the roller and the Hemi does not. The Johnson lifter introduces pressurized oil to the roller via a drilled passage as I see it. That oil makes the difference.
