Reply to "I found out why it died!?????"

Ouch!

Keith,

this has been a problem for a few years now, there are several possible causes;

>>bronze gear

>>iron gear used with steel roller cam

>>high volume oil pump (some cam manufacturers make this claim)

>>no ZDDP in the motor oil

>>bad camshaft core

>>mis-alignment of parts

Dan Jones has a very long treatise on the subject you may be able to find if you search this forum.

To do your investment in this motor justice, it should be pulled & torn down, every passage inspected and cleaned, all the bearings inspected, the pan thoroughly cleaned, the oil pump especially taken apart & cleaned.


I feel for you my freind,

George
