er, it's kind of obvious to anyone that opens the hood occasionally.

but since you don't want to take my word for it, here's an experiment 
you can do for yourself.  buy a spring loaded punch like this:

go to a junkyard.

use your punch on the cam lobes of say a taurus.  note size of indent

now, try the same exercise on a camry.  comparable vehicles.

then tell us what you observed.
