unstable load

I agree with Ron, those look fine. Just remember to put the lifter back in the same position as before.
Lack of petrol?

Thanks guys, that's what I thought.
What puzzles me is the fact that I lost about 30° duration on both, inlet and exhaust, without noticeable wear on the lobes.
The lobe lift of about 6,25mm also seems to be right on spec.
But maybe, the camshaft was never made to what the workshop manual says!
@Ron: the engine has just covered 105.000 km/65.000 mi.

Hi Thomas,
Do you know for certain that the camshaft has not been changed previously, given the lift is right but the duration is 30 degrees less across the board?
With regular oil and filter changes, you could easily see another 90,000 Miles on top of the current 65,000 before you should need to contemplate replacing the camshaft and lifters.
