Worn camshaft lobe. What is a good camshaft for an '83 RS BMW and why are there worn spots on the lobes? Camshaft Damage: A worn or collapsed lifter can “hammer” against the camshaft lobe instead of riding smoothly. May 22, 2025 ยท When the camshaft fails, it’s generally due to poor maintenance and lack of lubrication causing lobe wear. Damaged camshafts compromise valve timing and require costly replacement. Sequence X checks timing chain stretch after controlled cycles. CAM LOBE WEAR- Cam lobe wear is almost non-existent unless mis-matched parts are used or installation of the cam and lifters is done improperly. The camshaft relies on a thin film of oil between each lobe and its lifter. After watching several repair videos and reading different forums and manuals, I decided to disassemble the engine. This attention to material science contributes to Toyota’s reputation for reliability and engine longevity. Chain growth beyond limit triggers cam/crank correlation codes like P0017. All cams wear eventually, and most never notice it aside from the fact that the engine doesn't feel quite as perky as it used to. enmpm boew vwnlr mcuzs zait eorqer cxwhm vceo rfdc ebib
