I know the legends cars have broken cams - hadn't heard of a case of it happening in a bike though

Yah Hank Scott pinned my cams in my 1350. Randy thought it wasn't necessary. And might cause more problems than it prevented.

That is a regular occurrence on the FJ/XJR series engine in the race car application.

Sometimes you get lucky and it does not bend the four valves on the side that stopped. If you get lucky, you can drop in a new cam and let it rip.
