hey Cletus

People didnt have problems with (ford)cams a few years ago like they do today. Ive been trying to figure it out myself. Wearing out a lobe boils down to one thing.....The lifter or lifters are not spinning. I`m beginning to think more and more that the problems we are having nowadays is actually the moly lube they are telling us to use! I think this stuff is probably too slick to allow the lobe to hang on to and spin the lifter. What is the benifit of moly grease?? If it is slicker than oil then how does the lifter/cam lobes break in? If something "breaks in" doesnt that involve wear? Someone on another forum sugested breaking in a cam/lifter set with moly lube on the lifter bores and motor oil on the lobes...Hmmmm. Makes me wonder....he might be on to something. Anyway like I said, Your cam is wiping out the lobes `cause the lifter(s) are not spinning. You may want to figure out why. It may not have anything to do with the oil mods or lifter choices. Make sure you dont have any lifter bores scared up from previous chewed up lifters that may have been removed from the wrong direction. I alway try to pull the bad lifters up just far enuff to get the cam out then shove them down into the cam bore area. You can bend a piece of cardboard into a half circle and shove it into the cam bore to catch the lifters(one at a time) as you push them down thru the lifter bore.
This thread, so far...
