(03-23-2024 )8pitcher Wrote: Found the problem once I started to tear the truck apart. The intake line on the cam completely fell apart. But wasn’t something I could visually see until after I removed the rockers. So now I’m waiting on parts gonna roll in new bearings, oil pump, cam, rollers on the rockers.
maybe post a pic of the failure?.

Wow, you let that one go for a LONG time. I've never seen one that worn.

It smoked for 2k miles. To make it home only about 4 days it smoked.

you can tell yourself that, but it serves no purpose except to fool yourself ...
That cam lobe did not get that way in only a few k miles.. it has been bad for a VERY long time, and is a clear sign of neglect of the top-end.. which means most of the the rest of the engine is likely as neglected too.
