I bought my 2002 C10 in 2004, new. I still use the dealer/mechanic and trust him to a large degree when it comes to mechanical skills.
My bike has 61,820. miles on it, last Valve adjustment was about 25,000.00 miles ago. The mechanic at that time told me of some pitting on the cams but said it will not probably get worse.
30 days ago I asked the same mechanic to do a valve adjustment, and he called me after taking the top off and stated there is no way, can not tune around this issue, the cams are shot due to extreme pitting and flaking.
From 1-45,000. miles I have used BelRay 1040 Mineral. from 45,000.00 on BelRay Synthetic Esther. I would challenge anyone to produce a better maintained bike than mine. It has never over heated, no issues to speak of other than regular maintenance.
I am very curious as to HOW this happened ( see pics). The mechanic stated he has never seen this before and it has to be a material defect.
All lobes are this way, both Cams.
Any thoughts?
thank you,
