Re: Cam Replacement

Oh yeah, I have taken apart quite a few like that. It's incredible how much of that metallic stuff there can be. You really need to remove all of the oil galley plugs and run the long "pipe cleaner" type brushes through everything.
As soon as one lobe fails, the particles from it and the mating lifter fling around in the oil and get between others. It makes them fail faster....snowballing.

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
