I had a roller cam go on my 99, replaced the cam and all the lifters. Oil pressure slowly went down ever since. Finally replaced the engine after 2 years of low oil pressure.

Why do you need a new cam? if its worn, all the metal went somewhere. Rebuild or replace is imminent. Whether it be 2 days or 2 years, it will show its face.

I bought an OE cam from gm, it was pretty inexpensive, under 200. And 12 lifters under the sealed power brand.
