[DML] Cam Wear cause

[<rvparty@xxxxxxxxx>]

I?ve read the archives and understand that the early Volvo?s suffered
from excessive cam wear and that the DeLorean version uses hardened cams
and therefore don?t have the same problem.  My passenger cam used to
have a loud ticking noise until I adjusted the rocker arms and I was
surprised at how much quieter the engine was.  That was 6 months ago,
and recently the engine redeveloped the ticking noise and I adjusted
again.  Less than a month later it is back and getting louder.  I?m
pretty sure that this is indicating that I?m experiencing excessive
wear.  The cam is well saturated with oil when I remove the cover so I?m
wondering what might be causing the cam to wear so badly so that I can
fix the cause when I replace the cam.  Are there a set of causes that
could make the cam wear or is this a case of the cam being damaged in
the past and just needs to be replaced, nothing else?
 
Thanks!
Jeff
