Re: The Blue Goose
Well bad news. I dont think i'll be driving blue truck for awhile.
Tore topend down today oil shavings from what we (truck forum and I) is the cam bearings.. I'll probably pull the motor put back together with old parts and put on stand till I have time to mess with it. I dont have time to got thru it etc. I got 4 roller wheels for her and i'll duct tape up the 'black holes'. I'll keep everyone posted. Its been a good ride ![]()

Re: The Blue Goose
So what happened?
I thought you were using engine oil with high levels of ZDDP?

Re: The Blue Goose
I banged up the bearing journals.
Thinking about returning the cam (still NIB) and saving for a roller setup I thumbed thru summits book and none of the cams looked compatible for a DD and my setup? Idk taking the block to the machien shop firday cause its gona rain there puttin new cam bearings in it Btw the engine is pulled I got it out this afternoon. Pics if you want em The thump cam looks good no wear etc bearings look a little rough though. For 50 bucks and a few days of my time id rather be safe than sorry. And the girfriend helped (she wanted to put that) no pix of her working though ![]()

Re: The Blue Goose
ITS ALIVE!
Thanks for all the advise. Much better driveability than the thumpr, It was a little big and really didnt come in at rpms I could use. The voodoo pulls just a LITTLE bit harder (but its not tuned all the way yet). Gotta put the hood back on do afew more misc things on the motor/tune more

Re: The Blue Goose
Great build. Sucks about what happened with the bearings though. I've always ran Joe Gibbs Hot Rod oil, I've done lots of reading and the VR1 oil has only a little bit more zddp than a standard motor oil....it still doesn't offer the maximum protection available. I would either add comp's break in oil additive to every change (just zddp in a bottle) or run Gibbs oil (its like $8 a quart but its worth it).
You have a great truck/driver/project on your hands, and it also sounds like you have the best girlfriend a guy could ask for; she's really pretty, and she helps you work on your truck. That's awesome! Hold on to both of them as long as you can.(your truck and your girl). I look forward to keeping up with your build, I'll try to keep you updated with mine as well......

Re: The Blue Goose
They also have a product out there called ZDDP plus, I believe its made by Isky cams or is at least a part of their company....but that would be something to add instead of the comp additive as well (if you don't decide to go with the Joe Gibbs). A reputable race engine builder who lives down the street from me recommended I run Gibbs in a motor he built for me a while back. He said its one of the best oils on the market.

Have fun man! If you can, have someone post your mailing address, I'm sure there are guys here who would send you those wonderful letters that get you to the quarter deck... don't know what they call it in the Chair Force.

Re: The Blue Goose
(This is Brittany) I just wanted to let everyone know that John made it to TX last night. They took his phone so no calls for awhile. He decided not to change the tires on his truck and his dad is suppose to start it and maybe drive it some.

Re: The Blue Goose
Slick copper- He's been trying to teach me how to drive it since he got it. I can't shift it or hold the clutch in, slowly let off of it & press the gas pedal all at the same time. I need more hands and feet I guess lol.
