Make sure the cam is surface-hardened. Well worth the added cost for nitriding.

Thanks for posting the nitriding link Schurkey. Because of my location I will probably just remove my inner springs, use low ratio rockers, specific oil, and Rhoads lifters with the additional cam lobe oiling option. If I lose a lobe I will be able to tell early by verifying push-rod rotation with a roller not so much.

Hopefully after the above there are quite a few trouble free miles ahead but life offers no guarantees either way.
