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. |

Well, here's the carnage...
![]() ![]() I must say though, the T4 is a pretty easy engine to work on. Thankfully the rest of the internals look great. I'm going to give it a fresh cam and button it back up. Now I'm taking a deep dive into cam timing... I've heard for decades all about it but never actually had to do one. This'll be a great learning tool. The Webcam folks have been great too. |
