I haven't read anything on this forum about a messed up camshaft. Where was it scored? Pictures? humfrz |
Have some pics, not sure how to post them.
They are scored on the camshaft at both ends, more scoring on the cam chain end, and of course the journals |

So, do "they" have any idea on what caused the cam to get all messed up? humfrz |

What do they figure caused it?

They do not know what caused the damage, and the wear is not normal, so I think it is some sort of failure maybe even from manufacture
|
So the cams looked like this when you came in for the recall or after the recall? Looks like damage from oil starvation. I’m surprised you haven’t spun a bearing.

Was during the valve spring recall it was discovered, the motor is wrecked, looking for a used one now
|
I would check the oil ports for those bearings and make sure they are open.
