First cam cam was regrinded and lifters were used stock, no wonder why two lobes went bad especially when car didnt start for ages.
Second was schneider cam with comp cams lifters and after proper brake in, fifth cylinder started to pop.
I opened valve cover and lash cap was dropped and so was pushrod.
Exhaust lobe were 2mm down.

Like my garage neighbour said: Maybe there are reason why Y-Block enthusiasts are so rare.

other things that may contribute to cam failure
oil with low breakdown#S
no presure in rocker shafts(90% of rockershafts i have dismant for re use had gauled rocker arms as well as worn shafts. reason is bleed off tubes. ) my take is no bleed off, block them . the oil leakage will work down to dist gear and time chain.
the gaulimg of rocker assembly must be hard on cam and lifters
