Just wanted to thank you guys for the information in the thread, it was semi-useful to me, usually you don't learn something new on Zilvia. Other than how to flame people. :P
Yeah I second that, I'm very grateful for all the info posted, and hope others will gain something from it.

HKS and Tomei cams are made of much harder material than the rocker arms, so usually in a oil starvation situation the rocker arm takes the biggest beating. I actually have worn arms that show what I mean, I'll find and take pictures of them. I also have a used oil starved HKS Step 3 272 cam and can show you what it looks like too.
^^^ Pics would be great if you don't mind taking the time to post them. I might go used, but I think I'm going to try and get a deal on new 256 Poncams, too bad the exchange rate sucks right now 83円 to $1 USD FTL...
