IMO, this isn't necessarily an "either/or" materials issue. There are many other factors which will slowly play out as the facts (from more failed engines, not RV.net comments) present themselves. There is some evidence that the failing engines have spent a lot of time at idle where the oil pressure is very low compared to normal driving. Extreme pressure wear additives in oil have also recently changed. The camshafts and roller lifters are one of the most highly stressed friction points in internal combustion engines which is where the failures occur. Let's see where the EVIDENCE leads us.
