Engine Making Metal (Was: Nasa Icing courses)

Start with the throttle 1/2 open, zero rpm to 1800 with no oil pressure. Etc. No, I don't start mine like that. On shut down, I set the throttle for 1000 RPM and lock it. The throttle doesn't move again until the engine is warmed up. I preheat religiously below 30F, and I don't leave the preheater plugged in. Also, if it were corrosion that got mine, why only one cam lobe?? My mechanic tells me there have been a rash of problems with newer cams with flaws in the case hardening. I haven't seen evidence to prove it though.
