***Important Oil information for ANYONE****
***Important Oil information for ANYONE**** Lately, Ive been seeing a LOT of failed turbos, and failed camshaft/lifters.
Ive been in the LSx game for over a decade, and rarely do I see failures. We are a mailorder based company with 3 full time techs doing installs and R&D.
Over the last 10 years, We have recorded approximately 10 failed lifters from customers in the US with our cam kits. We sell on average 150-200 cam kits per year, and more cams by themselves. 6 of these have been in the last 12 months.
We have also seen a lot of turbo thrust bearing failures. This is VERY abnormal.
Have you heard about the LS7 exhaust valve dropping syndrome? It just started rearing its ugly head too... Its guide wear... Why? Because the oil cannot protect properly!
Its the oil people. Run a quality oil with proper additives. Redline, Joe Gibbs, Brad Penn, etc OUR ENGINES NEED THE ADDITIVES THAT THE EPA HAS MADE STREET OIL BLENDS REMOVE.

Brett Foote Good to know!
In the corvette community, this is a HUGE issue with the C3 crowd, as they are all flat tappet. They have no roller cams
Its also a big issue in the cummins community, but when you put a cam in from Hamilton Cams, you HAVE to break it in properly, or youll fail the cam or lifter(s)!
