How does it cause chewed up cams? I'm not at all disputing it just curious why.

The overhead cams only get about 8-9 PSI of oil pressure from the oil pump (a bit less at idle). - Because of this, ANY pressure buildup in the crank case at all causes a significant drop in the amount of oil going to the top-end. It starves the cams and rockers of oil and then you eventually get a chewed up cam.

- Personally, I think that the crank case filter should have never been installed on these engines. It causes nothing but shortened engine longevity and saves nothing in the environment at all.
