I had my engine rebuilt by a professional shop and two cams have now failed 
in less than 25 miles. We are giving up and going to a roller cam.

My mechanic made me aware of a problem they have been seeing over the past
few years.  They have had a few ruined camshafts popping up, he told me
about this article in the July? issue of Hot Rod.  Basically they have
removed most of the additives from the oil.  My mechanic has been using
Castrol for 30 years and had to stop.  He switched me to Rotella T for
diesel.
