See what happens when you don’t change the oil in your cars ladies.

Nissan Sentra with 72,000 miles. From my local mechanic shop.
I remember a photograph in an old copy of Cars and Car Conversions of a Dolomite Sprint camshaft which had been sent by post to Piper Cams for reprofiling. It arrived in three pieces!
Not a lubrication issue, as far as I can tell…
Dropped???
I stand corrected, see it now.
Found the weak point….
That is shear beauty 😉
Wow! A rare, 4-cam, 4 cylinder.
Nice !
I actually had that happen on an ‘84 Dodge Daytona Turbo.
I changed oil at 3,000 mi or less, mostly to prevent wear on the turbo shaft. Driving along on the freeway, 70 or so, a small thump and the motor died.
No valve interference, so a new cam & back on the road.
good ol metal fatigue, I guess.
This happened to my wife while driving our Chrysler minivan (3.3 l). Just quit. One of the cams snapped, about 10k miles beyond warranty. Had always kept up on maintenance. Put a junkyard motor in it that never ran right and donated it to charity.
