Rick if its the stock cam I've seen 2 others break there and your is the third ,If you need a stock cam I have several take outs I'll give you if needed or you could go custom in both motors I think the cams were bad parts unless you find something please advise ;) ;)

Hey Bobby.... you ARE using the MSD lifters with the MSD camshaft, aren't you, or did you use the brand X cam, and the MSD billet lifters? rotflmao

This seems to be a common problem with gen5 hyd roller cams. A buddy of mine pointed this out to me years ago. When I build my roller 496 I'm going solid.
I guess I'm going to have to stay happy with the mag motor until I get around to putting the 496 together. I also wont need to worry about blowing up my Bravo either. It's ok guys if you wanter go faster than me. I will someday have a serious piece of machinery! ;)

Try a billet cam. If there is a buzz in the harmonics, cast cams will snap.
