Thread: wiped lobes, new cam

Tweet

Well here it is upset and frustrated, couple of lobes got wiped, now have to rebuild the motor again, told I don't have to but I read it gets metal shavings all in the bearings and wears everything out alot faster, but I'm not gonna Fidel fart around I'm gonna do it right this time, I feel like I been lyed to by the people at the Moore machine shop, I would have to agree with some people on here and i read some books on cam specks and that cam does not seem bigg enough to even brake 400hp, but this time now i got a better grip on complementing everything in a engine
I already bought me a 445 stroker kit from coasthigh and I'm goin with one of howards grinds, just need a little help guys thanks

Still 11:2 compression
3.73 gears and a 2800 stall
I liked a lot of grinds howards had to offer
They go by the rattler series

I would rather go through you guys for help because I honestly felt lied to by thise Moore machine shop, I don't know how 2 lobes got wiped I broke the cam in at 2000-2500 for 30 minutes, changed the oil drove it around and also I put the Lucas zinc additive in It as well, guess it was just a bad cam
