Anyone notice the lifter stroke witness marks in the next to last photo? The one with the worn face also appears to have significantly less stroke based on the witness marks. If this is true your cam is shot.
I hadn't noticed that. The cams do seem to go up and down evenly but I'll measure them tonight by turning it by hand and using one of these on the lifter:
That should at least tell me if one lobe is shot.
Darn. I don't want to replace the cam. That likely means pulling the engine. I might be able to do it in the car if I remove the grill but not likely.
