So, I broke my block and am pulling stuff out of it in hopes of reusing it.
I got 188/220 steel cam and 24v lifters from Zach in Feb of 2012. I'd been running his 110 (?) valve-springs with his 1st stage HD (whatever) pushrods.
Anyhoo, pulling the cam out this afternoon and standing back and looking at stuff reveals things like:
- The lobes of the cam have a surface of anywhere from smooth to heavily cratered (?)
- The lifters smooth to heavy cratering (?)
1 - Exhaust . . . .
3 - Intake . . . .
5 - Exhaust . . .
All of the lobes present with shadows on the ramps . . .
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I've gotten my monies worth from the rods, huh? Some have grown nipples.
I've always run a good dose of the ZDDP supplement stuff with Rotela. Ya reckon there's any salvaging of that cam?
Crap! :doh:
