Long story short I wiped a lobe on my cam. (took some bad advice from a T1 builder and used lifters that were not up to the task).
Hopefully I'll be able to split the cases and just pull the cam. Obviously if I find shrapnel in the sump it'll be a total teardown and clean out. It didn't run long with the erroneous lifters so I'm hoping the collateral damage is minimal. Not really asking for help here - just venting... Sure wish I had a spare motor with season opener in 3 weeks .. tick tock.. Thx. |

you'll have to split the cases.
hey.. years ago, I lost a cam and crank on a type4 and we always use zinc oil... my builder had a fit when I brought the motor in. I got a nice lecture... I had decided to go to oil changes every other event on the engine against the directions I was given to change oil EACH event guess what. I now religiously follow the "every event weekend" rule and no contaminated oil damaging parts in the last 5 or so motors you can't be too safe don't know your maintenance routines... but a piece of advice that has served me well brant |

Every event. This was a mismatch of parts. |
