[QUOTE="SuperG, post: 6686281, member: 37969"] Well, the cam roller follower in Cylinder #6 popped off again. I took the car to another shop and their opinion (after removing the valve cover) is that the cam needs replacing due to excessive wear on the lobes. Apparently the amount of metal that has shaved off the lobes over time is too much change in tolerance resulting in the follower popping off. First, what do you think of that opinion? Second, if you agree the cam needs replacing, then I am curious about whether to go with a stock cam or an aftermarket cam? And if an aftermarket cam, which one and why? If I go OEM, then I'll replace both cams on the driver's side, along with the incidentals associated with the cams...if I go aftermarket with different lobes, then I'll go ahead and replace all of them.
