No consensus on idling causing it! I have seen it in plenty of engines that do not see excessive idling. If that was the issue how do you explain the fact the millions of early engines with the same oiling system and lots of idling that did not have this problem?

The only things that are basically consensus or should be is that

1 The problem is the lifter quits rolling and ruins the cam, not the cam going bad.
2 it did not start until the eagle era engines ruling out the basic design of the oiling system.
3 Some people say it is MDS fault but again lots of non MDS vehicles have the problem including my 2011 ram 2500 with NO-MDS and lots of early engines had MDS but there were no lifter failures.


A different block will not solve the problem, it is a lifter problem.
