He is not forcing a rebuild on me, he said lets wait and see some more results.
He is not happy with the cam either nor does he hate it.
I sttill have not yet seen or heard the car so I am just preparing for a rebuild if I need it.

Well that doesn't sound too bad at all! My advice is to give it some time. You can move your oil up a viscosity level and then put a good 500-1000 miles on it before you do anything rash. Absent something unusual (like finding big gnarly chunks of metal in your filter), get some serious seat time in before you even think of pulling the cam. |
