Like I say, we build a lot of engines with FT cams. In the 10 years I have been at Koerner Racing Engines we have only seen 1 FT cam go bad. So why is that? If it is the fault of the cams, then why have we not had problems with it. We have seen far more roller lifter and cam failures than FT. We recently had a roller cam that wasn't hardened correctly, and it ate the lobes up in less than 5000 miles.
Not turning this into a FT/roller cam debate[I don't care either way, as I use both], just saying that both types can have issues. Some people think that just because they go to roller cam setup, that it will completely eliminate any cam/lifter related issues they might have. I'm just saying, not necessarily.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
