Back to the subject.
Are the cams wearing out because of lubrication issues ?
The same problem exists in the M3 E30 and the S14 engine.
Usually happens when the oil from the the cylinder head is not optimal (there is an o-ring or something that creates the problem - I don't remember the detail of this). |
The scoring on them looks like an oil supply issue would be where you would point the finger, but my engine was fitted with a brand new oil pump 10k ago (and I religiously run it at 1.1 litres on track) and as far as I am aware the standard cams in the S54 don't suffer the same issues? Although Tom may be able to confirm this better
?
