So doing a timing chain kit replacement and noticed on the exhaust camshaft lobe under the third cap has rough scarring or wear around the lobe. what may have caused this? low oil pressure? I should let you guys know that I did a money shift 3rd to 2nd instead of 4th before the timing rattle if that info helps. I can post a pic if needed. Will this hurt my engine? Car drove fine like this, well except for the little rattling which came from the front of the motor which I asumed was the timing chain. I do have some hks cams but wasn't planning on putting them in yet. Probably not until I know what's going on with that cam lobe. thanks in advance.
