RE: [T3] VVERY SERIOUS !!! ENGINE FINALLY GOT SERIOUSLY SICK


I have stopped driving this car for now. Using neglected backup
junk car (old volvo)

Yesterday as I was adjusting the rockers, I noticed everything normal 
with nothing unusual. Adjustment was found to be in spec. No funny 
movement was detected as I observed the rockers moving up and 
down while in very slow idle, very normal. Only noise was detected, like a 
bad rod bearing but went away as I pushed on #4 exhaust rocker,
pushing on intake rocker on # 3 and # 4 made the sound worse.
Some people said I have a possible broken cam. 

If I do, how can this be caused ? Are they that cheap ? Mine has a VW
logo as I can remember. I never heard that just going fast can break a cam
unless it is defective . 

This is just speculation but I will see when the autotopsy is performed.
