Default Newman cams- how many have used their new cvh hydraulic lifter cams?

I have just fitted the second cam supplied by them and it has yet again failed and eaten ALL the lifters (which were supplied by them).

This is a new engine which has run a standard ford cam no problem at all.

The cam was fitted exactly how they instructed including running in. I even took the car to Gard engineering to carry out the work so they could oversee my work and verify it was done correctly.

It has done this in the time it has taken me to drive home which is about 5miles!! It has also snapped a rocker! Yet again a load of swarf in the engine which I get to shell out £45 for a new oil and filter! Thats excluding potential damage to the oil pump and shells!

NOT A HAPPY CHAP!!

I am trying to gauge how many of these items have been sold and if others are suffering these failures like me!
