This is not funny.
Another cam gone flat in only a few thousand miles.
Decided I may as well just put the factory cam and lifters back in.
Had to find where I had put them, and finally did.
But on close examination that cam is on its way out too.
So that is three dead cams and I'm fairly certain the original cam was setup correctly
Also certain I got the third cam dead-nuts on, the second may have had a slight adjustment issue, not sure.
So has anyone tried the hard coating some of the cam companies offer?
Not sure what it is, do not think it is hard chrome, maybe Titanium Nitride?
I need to USE this truck, not spend all my time working on it.
I only ZR1 high-Zinc oil, kind of expensive for getting the same result as cheap stuff.
Truck is a One-Ton 1981 C30 dually flat-bed.
Need a mileage/torque cam that will LIVE!
Suggestions other than a roller cam conver$ion?
