Greg - what valve springs are you running.
Hi Greg,
Thanks for your interest and reply. Still trying to get to the bottom of it all.
Can I ask what valve springs are you running with these cams please?
Cheers

On the face of it I would be getting the oil checked(chemist)
There is a few of us running these cams,( 4 of us in my area) and to my Knowledge No Problems .
My Mk2s have had one adjustment in 10500 mls and that was at 500mls( sorry for using the term tappets)(I also use 10w-60 full synthetic)that is just my choice, another word use a good quality and Brand oil castrol ,Valveline etc
I had an experience with a Mazda 3500 Deisel some years ago,it ran out of go ,on stripping, the cam shaft , followers and oil pump were (well like yours)the rest of the Engine was ok . I figured the oil pump was the problem with all the hardening off the teeth and pump shaft , rebuilt the problem area , filled it with Mobil Delvac and No problems for 5000 ks , the owner did his own oil change with his own oil , 1200ks later same problem, had the oil tested, the chemists report read may be used externally for warding off moister (Low grade)similar to WD40. I know this doesnt soften the blow for you it just had a similar ring to it ( thats why I was asking so many Questions).
Stuart I have NO affiliation with the said supplier.
Will be very interested with the out come . GOOD LUCK
Greg
