I've gone through a couple on one engine and they had those exact
symptoms. One AME suggested that the front lobes wear more quickly since
the cam is slightly elevated at the front so the oil drains off more
quickly. There are as many theories as worn cams, it sometimes seems.


Especially when you take your engine to your flight physical! :-)
