Seems to me that might wipe out the cam, but then my background is big V8s, probably with higher spring rates and RPMs, so I would be interested in what folks think. Who has done it, and has anyone ever damaged a cam, or heard of it even happening? I have a few really noisy lifters and would replace them but have some doubts about the cam life afterwards..
