Re: Another L78 CAM question
Sell the NOS one and put a new one in your motor.
I would think you'd come out way ahead $$$ wise and the new cam would work better and last longer.

Re: Another L78 CAM question
My $.02 on the matter...
Unless you're dead-set on having everything inside your engine 100% original GM, I would either sell or shelve the GM cam & lifters and go with the current Crane replacement along with a set of EDM lifters as insurance against a wiped cam. I've used EDM's in several recent builds and have experienced no failures, nor have I experienced any of the reported oil pressure issues others have reportedly experienced. Eric

Re: Another L78 CAM question
Listen to Eric...shelve the original piece, and get a Crane/GM piece...the original cam would be fine, but waste a cool original, wear item part?!
Also, Comp offers a solid lifter with an extra oiling orifice in the face of the lifter...
