07 bf f6 and my cams were stuffed after 60,000km. Just replaced them with  stock units.

So bf cams may also suffer

My May 2007 build BFII just had this happen...was picked up at 300,000km though after being fine at 200,000 km when stronger valve springs went in.

 

Would harder springs accelerate wear?  I imagine they would.

as long as the hardness treatment of the metal is correctly done, you'd imagine that it could take considerably more force than standard cam lobe rotation friction/pressure on any spring pressure... but I'm no metallurgist :idunno:
