ive never heard of that problem. Ive only ever heard of one case of skunk2 camshafts snapping. Ive heard of alot more makes of camshafts snapping but never wear on the lobes.
Maybe he ran the engine VERY low on oil as once the engine is running it creates a film around all the metal components so they never really touch each other!
if the cam fall during delivery it may crack or it can crack from the factory when they made them.
you are right about oil also bad quality oil or hight oil temp can provide friction on lobes/moving parts.
I'll second what abunai888 said, there are also a few other members who have had similar experiences with the b-series cams they make. Skunk2 has had many, many problems with extremely worn lobes on their new K-series camshafts too from what I've read and seen on K20a.org.
both cars using skunk2 cams was ep3's and had k20 engine they made good power but not for a long time
i also know kent cams also uk made afaik their prise was good and gains.
