Hey, another question for you guys....i was looking inside my oil cap on my Accord 2.4 and i saw two cam lobes....they look worn, i was wondering what "normal" wear for a k24 at 110,000 miles would look like. The cam lobes have a darker discoloration too them, most of the cam is a shiny silver color, and some parts have linear stripes, they are a darker silver or almost grey color, i took my fingernail and scrapped it across the lobe, and it did not catch on anything, it felt pretty smooth. Is it normal to have those discolored lines around the cams? can anyone post pics of normal wear???

This is your first car, right?
Don't sweat a thing. Maintain it well and don't worry. Go grab a beer [once you're old enough] and relax.

The K24 is good for at least 200,000 miles of trouble free service. There are many with well over 250,000.

Yup! This is what I considered normal wear.
@OP: before you scare yourself to death over and over again, read up and study on BITOG's past postings.

Worn camshaft lobes you say? That's what that 0W-20 and 5W-20
will do to your engine. I try warning you people but no one listens.

Yeah, your car is fine. Drive it for another couple hundred thousand on those worn cam lobes.

So, you're saying the engine will perform better with 20w50? Or how about 85w140? Why not just go with grease?
How about the old engines that would wear the cam lobes on 10w40?
