well i had new cams put in and after 3 days the follwers needed changing again the old cam kit was in the car 6 years, i took the new cam kit out and sent them back to the manufacturer to see if they were faulty or it was my engine

ppl were saying the reason for the for the new follwers gong so quick might be because of low oil pressure or oil starvation, but the manufacturer have sent me a new cam kit.

im now having a oil pressure gauge fitted.

Piper cams are renowned for being shit, in terms of durability and performance.

Get yourself a standard cam
