RE: Help! Keep wiping cams!

OK. I'm going to use accumulated knowledge so far on the next cam, obviously fron another manufacturer so we can eliminate this variable. Cam specs that are pertinent on the cams that have wiped are .560 lift at 230/235 duration. I'm going to .571/236 duration both sides. This is almost a duplicate of the Edelbrock Performer RPM in a solid so coil bind shouldn't be a problem. (Edelbrock claims the heads/valves are good to .600 so I'm sure they're throwing in +/- .050 for coil bind. Pistons are Ross flattops w/ valve reliefs.)
Lifters show no signs of blueing so I don't see overheat/galling problems there. Cam shows a wierd wavy pattern of wear on lobes. Engine is filled up with oil that resembles a fine grinding compound. I'm replacing bearings but not rings. I'm cleaning everything. In looking at the block, I don't see where drain in the valley would be a significant factor like in a small block Chevy. (Apology to diehards. I started with Mopars, have and had Chevys, but favor Fords.)
Thanks for the attention. I'm reading and digesting all replies.
This thread, so far...
