Welcome to CHR. With three lobes totally rounded how did you go about cleaning out all of the abrasive grit in the engine? What do you mean the rod bearings "felt good"?Roger

Pull the motor and tear it down.
You tried to get by on the cheap, it didn't fly..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Jerry, it seems to me that you're missing an excellent opportunity to share your knowledge of the building & rebuilding process for engines here, and helping a guy understand where he may be going wrong.

Were the 3 failed lobes close to each other??????? like maybe toward front of cam??
Did you check the mains? and felt good? did you remove rod caps or just wiggle them?
