Member geeteeohguy has said regularly here that the machining on the base of the lifter and the taper on the camshaft's lobes are the problem and has been for several years now. I get the feeling that if I found a camshaft ground prior to year 2000 that would be optimal.
It would be interesting if there was a site where folks who had camshaft/lifter failure could list the camshaft grinder who made the cam and we we could see if certain manufacturers were worse or better in this regard. FWIW
