Seems to me there was an article in Hot Rod Magazine a few years back on
bad batches of cams. Can't remember the manufacturer or application.

Just as an aside, this all could be a red herring. I had my engine built
and we failed two cams right on the startup. Actually one starting up on
the
dyno for a break in and the next rebuild after about 25 miles. Turned out
to
be due to using flat tappets and the new oils not being up to the task.
Went
to roller rockers and Rotella T oil and so far no issues on the 3rd
generation rebuild.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] Fuel pump question
Thanks for all comments, they are very helpful. Yes, they knew it was a
tiger rebuild; they know the car already from a few repairs done there. I
assume they knew it has an electric pump after putting the motor back
together and into the car. I'll keep the list posted.
