Looks like I need a new camshaft. I can probably reuse the bearing right? :V

Good eye, this is an F22B2 with 197k miles on it. I was really looking forward to the 200k rollover, but it was not to be.

I'm assuming from the wear also showing on the rocker arms round it this is all due to a blocked oilway?

That was my assumption also. There also seemed to be wear starting on the other end, so it's possible that the oil pump wasn't generating enough pressure to really ensure oil flow.

My friend got a call from his mom saying that on her drive home from work, her Infiniti SUV started "handling funny" He had her take a look and send him a picture, so he got this, with her asking if it was ok to drive on for a bit or not, at which point he threw his tools in his car, took the rest of the day off, and zoomed down a few hours to her house to replace her control arms.

I want to see the rest of the car and control arms. Also yeah, how old is that thing? It can't be all THAT old!

HOLY poo poo! :psyboom:

How old is the car?

It's only a 2003 or so, in Mass maybe an hour outside of Boston. Car has like 230,000 miles on it and is in otherwise great shape, although it burns a bit of oil now. The upper control arms are even aluminum so they're perfectly fine!

This is a pretty common problem on that engine, usually caused by:

The crank shaft timing sproket on those is held in place by friction only. No keyway.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to which car does it - I've seen neglected beaters run up 300kkm no problems, and I've seen owned-by-seniors pampered garage queens annihilate themselves for no reason.

Is this the case for the turbo motor in the speed3/6 too?

Edit: at least it has a chain so I'll probably never need to touch it right? :ohdear:
