Should have added, "rolling contact fatigue". One thing on that. My springs (as most do at 300 ish) had float. One theory is if you're on the cusp, valve float will compound the problem as the valve train 'chatters'. Not all lobes had issues. In fact, most cams have only displayed symptoms on some lobes - often cylinders 5 and 6. Since I've fitted the PAC Springs and donor CAMS, there is no further signs of wear. They were checked recently when I replaced the HLA's. I still use Nulon fully syn but have gone to their long life 5W-40. Anyway, hopefully we'll have the full findings soon.

If you've got close or have experienced float, you may be getting 'chatter' also. I don't think a quality oil - semi or fully syn has got jack sh*t to do with it. Soft springs and dodgy hard casing though, another story IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 11y 7m 10d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 19/05/15 07:32 AM Share Posted 19/05/15 07:32 AM So if the cams themselves are the fault, is there a possibility of Ford doing something like replacing faulty ones or is that tooooo much to ask?
