smashed lifters and cam
By Guest - 09/20/2002 6:37:52 PM; IP 199.254.215.254
I'm new to this tech forum but was hoping someone could help out with a problem my friend had with his 390. He just had it completely rebuilt, bored .030 over, with a Federal Mogal RV cam, Hyper-Eutectic pistons, sealed power lifters, new rocker arm assembly with 428CJ valve springs. The heads were completely rebuilt by NAPA. The problem happen when he started it up and it was making a light ticking noise. First thought was a lifter, so started taking off manifold to check out lifters. We pulled all the lifters out and everyone was completely destroyed and burnt! There are serious grooves wore on the lifters. Were takin' at least a 1/16th deep groove or more. My question is " what the hell happened?" The engine only ran for 8 minutes. We double checked every part number and all the parts were correct. Any help would be appreciated.
This thread, so far...
