Original cam "looks" ok but haven't truly checked it out. No didn't keep lifters together as i knew i wanted to run the adjustable style. I have no issue staying with the stock cam...that brings up the debate of old and new when it comes to lifters and cams. Just looking for what will give me decent mileage and decent power. Not trying to go racing, but i do want to out run my own shadow.
