Looking for camshaft recommendations
Several lobes on my camshaft are severely worn. I'd like to replace the camshaft with one that is pretty much stock and will hold up ok. Any recommendations? I don't want to spend a lot of money.
For anybody who is interested in knowing how I got to this point, check out this previous thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php3?t=150486 The exhaust lobe for cylinder 4 is pretty much totally gone. The exhaust lobe for cylinder 8 is about half way gone. My guess is that the head gasket blew partially between cylinders 4 and 6 because the exhaust valve in cylinder 4 wasn't opening. That allowed coolant to start leaking into cylinder 6, causing the valve to crack, causing the low compression in cylinder 6. Not sure why the exhaust valve in cylinder 8 cracked. Here's a picture showing the absense of a lobe for the cylinder 4 exhaust valve and a picture of my timing chain that definitely needs to be replaced: |
