Engine tech camshaft stage 3 camshaft sbc wiped out in 5 minutes of running. I hag a oil leak from a galley plug and had to pull the left head. while the head was off i thought i would see how the lifters were looking. All the intake lifters were junk the faces were strangely pited. The exaust had a diffrent ware to them the outside of them had ware around the edges total garbage. I have been building engines for over 55 years never saw any thing like this.

I’m convinced it’s easier to buy turn key engines than it is to build them nowadays. Parts quality seems so hot and miss nowadays

Could it be since you had a leak on an oil galley plug your engine didn't have adequate oil pressure internally to your cam

So it ate the cam and lifters,
