I wish I had to worry about Comp Cam failures, lol. I drive a flathead six, if I want a hot rod cam I have to send mine out to be reground and guess what? They heat treat the regrind. So why Comp recommends nitriding is beyond me. maybe they should get a better supplier for their cores.

Of course even the hot rod flathead cam is a broomstick and the springs are very light. So that plays into it.
