I have a 68 dodge dart with a 360 with 340 j heads with the mopar muscle car cam 429/444 lift and a m1 dual plane intake. It ran great until i collapsed a lifter two weeks ago. Having to remove the intake anyway i felt this a great time to upgrade the cam to a 484/484 mopar cam and install a 6pack also. It ran really great for about one day then flattened four cam lobes on the left bank.Thinking it a bad cam from mopar changed the cam again adding new push rods and rockers. This second cam lasted two days and did the same thing on the same lobes. I think it could be one of two possibilities-- piston to valve clearance or an oiling problem. Can anyone help with what may be going on and what i need to do to correct the problem? I really want a hotter cam than the muscle car regrind to go with the sixpack set up.
