I really hope your cam lobe isn't damaged.
It's not the rev limiter cutting in and out is it?.

no was just a total loss of power, like lifting off throttle fully.

and its been changed, it was worn, but no hole! and it reached 130 and still pulling, so fingers crossed it was just that and was just caught in time. seems its at 125,000 miles, I can only assume the last owner changed it to, as I just reached 25,000 miles since I got it

r5gtt:
Good you did catch it in time.  :smiley:
Do you have a picture of how worn it is?.

i replaced mine not too long ago (mines on 125k miles now) and it was barely worn through - i guess i was quite lucky!
