Engine and road tests show that cam tappet distress occurs most frequently between 5000 and 10,000 mi of operation; test procedure which satisfactorily reproduced all forms of distress in greatly reduced time; increased lubrication showed no appreciable improvement; "full contact" cam tappet geometry showed promising results; behavior of cast iron camshaft and tappet material.
