So then what's everyone's opinion on the longevity before failure? I haven't seen that mentioned. Most of this seems to be based on race applications, probably with pretty high spring pressures I'd imagine.

I did it on my daily driver, with moderate (not crazy) spring pressures.
I've gone over 50,000 miles on mine so far and lash still hasn't budged in 6 years.

Are we thinking they'll only go 60,000? 70,000?? Because so far I haven't seen any indication it's on the verge of failure.

Just for reference, the factory crankshaft was nitrided and when I pulled it apart with over 100,000 miles it was in really nice condition. Maybe the OEM used a different process than todays cam manufactures???
