buckets + cams
Doing buckets and cams on my 2013 as a preventative measure and noticed that my cam lobes were definitely not in good shape, and a few buckets were showing excessive wear. 65k miles, and it's being replaced with BS buckets and 63Motorsports cams.
It's hard to get a detailed shot of the cam lobes and buckets using a phone camera, but one of the intake lobes on the passenger side had a crack in the lobe tip, and the driver's side intake cams have pretty heavy wear on the tips where you could see a wear pattern on the tips of the lobes as well as a few buckets with some not great looking wear patters.

I’ve seen this recently on the facelift cars. I was told that the FL cars have the updated headbolts and (at some point) updated buckets but they also have slightly stiff valve springs which is starting to show increased wear on the fam lobes, especially the intake cams.
