This doesn't necessarily apply to Lancairs, unless
you have a Lycoming IO-360 with an ECI camshaft.
I few months back I posted an email describing a
camshaft failure I experienced on takeoff at about 300' AGL. Admit
it. Your morbid curiosity has been wanting to know what a broken camshaft
looks like. Close up pictures would be great, right? Well here
you go. The entry on my camshaft starts at the bottom of page
14.
My engine now has a new Lycoming
camshaft.
