Camshaft failures!
Posted: Sat Feb 20, 16 7:54 pm
Hi MOPAR FOLKS,
As we all know the new engine oils DO NOT protect V8 flat tappet cams!
Gibbs is the only oil that has the Zinc content to protect YOUR camshaft!!!
Everyone else is wearing their cams out at an alarming RATE.
The next problem is that cams fail on START-UP!
If a lifter fails to rotate then it wipes the cam lobe off!!!
It happens alot, its why newer V8's have roller cams.
If its never happened to you, then you is LUCKY!!!
An easy fix though, just take the cam out and fit another one!
Don't forget to fit new lifters and plenty of cam lube...
All sorted!
