worn buckets on new lobes? worn bucket bores? Incorrectly run in?

 

tops of bucket were nice and smooth but they are now marked

the bucket bores didnt seem to have any play in them, however ive got a new head built now that qep did, so just need some new cams

hope the same doesnt happen again though

When i fitted my catcam inlet from QEP i got a set of lifters from them aswell.I think they where around £150 made by Eaton who make the superchargers.

yeah i think it something to do with the hardening on the cams though because the cams that came out were fine and qep said that if the followers look in condition then there is no need to change

thanks
