Re: Cam woes. (Mid-Week light reading)
i feel your pain,
about 5 months ago , my buddy got his shop, first was rebuilding my engine
it ran very well, ok power, but leaked and smoked
started with sealed power flat tappet cam, made it about 100 miles, wore 2 lobes and half of a 3rd, ok
sent motor back to shop to recheck everything, lucky all is good
ordered a Howards flat tappet cam and lifters combo, got about 6 minutes into breakin, tick, shut down, collapsed lifter,
No more flat tappet cams for me
got a Howards Roller cam and lifters
over 600 miles on it and aside from having to change rocker nuts
no complaints
id go with a roller, but either way good luck with your build
