Cams after "80" were hardened as were the rockers. We replaced the cam on my daughters "78" 240d that the PO had neglected to adjust the valves for who knows how long, on. A couple of the lobes were "dished" WAY out. If you get one at the pick and pull, get a post "80"s. Cost me $100.00 for cam, rockers and towers. I got the older style as thats what he had. I figured that I will keep the valves adjusted so it really wont matter.
