Pulled this from the big block today... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

The good one is on the left obviously...You should see the lobe on the cam. Completly flat. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Quality carnage! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Very typical of any chevy engine to look like that. /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Doe's the cam lobe look like it's a octagon or Hexagon?
6 or 8 sided? /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Welcome to the world of big blocks...

you will need to feed your engine an ample amount of fuel, a quart of oil or so between changes and the occasional cam nd lifter set /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif BBC's are notorious for eating cams...I already looking for reliable roller cams/lifter sets and I haven't even installed my freshly rebuilt BBC....I just expect it to happen...esp. with higher spring pressures /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Lifters looking food though

After seeing your pic's joe, i had to go find my old parts....
I remember after hearing you describe the symptoms your engine was making... this is what came to mind:

This is what happened to the 350 in my K5 about 6 months after i bought it.

Were you performing custom "on-board cam grinding"? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It would make a nice shot glass for a light weight /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
