Looking for some opinions as to whether or not this cam is still worth puting back in. it seems like a piece of my broken spring must have gotten between the lobe and lifter to me. It will be looked at buy my head guy but i'm curious what you guys think

 

I wouldn't, that stuff is machined smooth for a reason...be safe and replace...

 

In the same boat timing chain snapped and a pc if it lodged itself in there. Ruined a cam with less than 1500 miles timing set was new at time of cam install also. :/

 

Mine has under 8000 on it. Broken spring is turning into an expensive PITA

 

Definitely would choose to replace that.

 

No....

 

Can you catch it with a fingernail ?


Then NO !

 

absolutely not. replace it.

 

I was thinking it was junk but hoping it wasn't. Looks like I'll be shopping for a cam then

 

Wall hanger

Full race cam LOL

 

make a lamp out of it, or use it as a hammer!

 

i would rather be safe than sry if i were you...unless you have money to replace the motor if it fails

 

I would replace it with out a doubt

 

i'm gonna junk it. this whole build/repair is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. i broke a 1518 at part throttle. pulled the heads and the other 15 springs were down on pressure and rate. PAC and my head guy ask for cam specs so i email FTI. FTI wont give the specs needed to id the lobes for fear of somebody copying his work. he says the lobes were made for a beehive though. so my only option was to pull the cam and have it doctored. so i pull it to find this

 

 

nice! how u get the wires up the cam?

 

That's one awesome lamp! Made of only the finest billet!

 

Well if anybody wants to buy a lamp base let me know

 

Guess who's never seen an LS cam. They are all gun-drilled. Well, not sure about the VVT cams, but all Gen III's are...

 

here you go, for all you bolt on guys
