Re: Installed Defective Cam. Need Advice On New One

Mitch replied:

Certainly the basics apply here.
* Was the cam broken in properly - YES, FIRST 30 MINUTES AT HIGH IDLE
* Was the proper valve lash set - YES, PER CAM SPECS, NOT OEM
* Were the lifters of the proper hardness - DON'T KNOW. NEW FROM BPNW
* Is it getting adequate lubrication - YES, OBSERVED. NEW ROCKER ASSEMBLY
* Was assembly lube used for start up. - YES, CAM LUBE

Good to hear from you Mitch. Any cam recommendations?
