Cam wear
CM871 with 1.361 million miles on original cams. A couple of lobes are looking dull. Keep running it, or start making plans to replace. I’d rather be pre-emptive than wait for a failure.

It didn’t feel like it. But I need to check again.

RE: Cam wear
Sounds about right for lifespan when the engine is properly cared for.

Mine made it 1.34 million before one of the lobes finally started etching. I replaced everything all at once ... cams, rockers, rocker-shafts, everything on both sides, etc.
