anyone built a 2.0L with D-jet using one of these cams?

The issues were numerous stemming from crappy lifters with the wrong radii on their crowns to incorrect chilling of some cam billets..
It cost me12K bucks to do the part of the testsing that I paid for myself, the rest of the 20K was split up between LN Enginerings and individual donations from guys like 914 club members. Cam and lifter failures can still bite someone in the ass if they have a day of bad luck, but we have only lost two of ours since February 2005. We sell several hundred cam and lifter sets each year.. My cams are designed specifically for their matched lifters and vice versa, using one without the other is certain death to the engine. Thats the only way we were able to correct the issue... Our lifters are Ion Nitrided, parkerized and cryoed and most importantly they have the proper crown radius for the camshaft lobe taper. |
