I am trying to find the cause of rough running in a Lyc O360A4M that has good compression, good mags, good timing. It has about 1400 smoh over about 12 years. There were times during those years in which it sat for over a year at a time. Also, for most of that time, the oil cooler hoses were connected wrong so the oil ran quite hot. How can I prove that there is or isn't excessive cam lobe wear without tearing it all down??
