"To everyone else here, I have never blown a cam is it not possible to still have compression on 2 cyls with a half shredded cam?"
Often a worn out cam will cause a high reading on your compression tester gauge. The lower profile of the worn lobes can lessen overlap. I've seen 240 ft-lbs of pressure in a B20 with a worn cam. -- Dave
