Mine is fine throughout all these "problems"

I agree, I have built many many engines over the last 35 years and have never had a cam wipe a lobe out. I think this problem is all hipe and more to do with install and break in procedures, IMHO

Yes, buy why? Is it a inconsistency issue, metal quality, bad grinds?
Flat tappet only or roller as well?
