Comp Cam/lifter failure
A buddy developed a tick in his low mile 440 and found this. Obviously the lifter wasn't turning in it's bore but he was able to remove it easily with a magnet. He read on the net that others have had the same issue possibly caused by the cam not being ground with the proper bevel to make the lifter spin. Anyone have the same issue or heard of it happening? I know Comp has had a lot of cam and lifter issues in the past few years. I don't have a photo of the cam lobe but I can't imagine it isn't damaged as well.
