Is there a consensus that lack of oiling at idle is what tends to wipe cams and lifters on Gen3's? I'm very interested in these new blocks and following this thread and the redesigned oiling and curious if these are problem solvers. Thanks.
Do you plan to sit in stop and go traffic on the freeway for an hour a day in the middle of the summer, with 5-10,000 mile old dollar store oil, and the engine idling at 500 RPM? If you answer no to these questions, you'll likely never have an issue. I'd bet that low idle speed alone, in an attempt to save fuel and emissions, is the only important factor to camshaft and lifter splash oiling. Set the idle at 750, run decent oil, and never worry again, IMHO.
