Whoops.  I guess I'm a bit too literal.  When you say "lost a lobe," I 
assumed that the specs on the lobe itself ground beyond tolerance.  Couldn't 
figure the talk on a soft lifter, since to overly wear a cam lobe would have 
to mean a tight, hard lifter.   Does "lose a lobe" mean general spec failure 
from the cam?

I, uhm, think I've lost a lobe myself....  :0)
