Youre doing it wrong. Need to tighten those clearances up, and go with 5w20.

I'm looking to switch to 0w5 Wolf head.
And I do run Mobil 1 302 oil filters or Purolator Pure Ones. |
Awesome results. I wouldn't change a thing other than changing the oil at the end of the season.

Looks good. What happened to your valvetrain?

I don't know exactly. I keep gaining lash on my cams. Rocker got loose, walked and bent a valve.

This particular engine just seems to beat the snout out of my valve train. Adjusting lash 3-4x a summer. My old solids I would check every summer and adjust a thou hear and there. I'm working with my head guy and I think I'm just going to throw in my old solid springs lightened up a little.
In a recent conversation with a cam grinder, he had advised against running that setup. He mentioned how alot of people assume that a hyd has easier lobes than a solid, when in fact it can be the opposite. His advice was if you wanna run a solid lifter in an endurance engine, run a solid roller endurance lobe profile. I was contemplating going to solid roller lifters to avoid the pitfalls of alot of the hyd lifter issues, but after talking with him, decided to stick with what i have. Did you notice any abnormal wear on the lobes, or valveseats Jason? |
I only spin them to 5600-5800 now, so maybe I'll just throw in a std set of Morels in and see what happens.

Never liked the stupid solid roller lifter on hyd roller cam deal anyway. Too little lash, which you need to do to make it relatively happy.
Nothing but a buzzword (from cam grinders/pickers) to look different. But, I'm the azzhole for going against it a bunch, some years back. LOL. Be gone with it and get proper lifters for the cam. |
