    Camshaft replacement

    Ok, I'll search info in the catalog like Hipster mentioned. I guess Barebones are cheap cams, I'll try to get a Vodoo, as I mentioned, it lasted over 12 years even with a engine in not perfect conditions. Thanks Schurkey

    Camshaft replacement

    Ok, I'll send the engine to my mechanic and let see how deep is the damage and what can I save. About my original question, could you give me your opinion please. These current springvalves will match with a one step down less agressive cam? These are the installed currently:

    Camshaft replacement

    Happy 2024 to all the members. Now you can see the damagein tth cam and lifters. I would like your opnion about the damage in the block, the worst case would be bearings of camshaft and crank shaft? or maybe just cleaning up the block internally could save all its components? I could removed...

    Camshaft replacement

    Ok, I'll try to get new springs. But let me tell you that in 2008 put a Vodoo cam and kept the OEM springs, they lasted 12 years and as you can see, the engine was dirty outside and inside with many mud, because the prior owner didn't make a good maintenece. That's one reason I would like to...

    Camshaft replacement

    Thank you so much, I really appreciate your propose but the true is that I don´t like that kind of help, I'm very proud and I need to do it by myself and learn from my mistakes, actually my sister has the American nationality and she could send me some money but I will not even mention her this...

    Camshaft replacement

    I understand but here is diferent, in USA many things are droped into the trash in perfect conditions, here the engines are squeezed to the maximum, also maintenence given is not so good and the worst, in a reliable shop, prices are high, before I rebuild this engine, ask for a used and they...

    Camshaft replacement

    Ok, those cams I mentioned is because are the only availables in Amazon Mexico with financial support, not because I want more power. So now, what you think about the "downgrade" to this one 10120100LK, you think I can keep the springs? Now once again let me be clear, I understand what all of...

    Camshaft replacement

    Many years ago I analyse the swap to a roller cam but another reason that I wouldn´t do it is that I love this truck and I want to keep it as was born :)

    Lifter replacement

    I appreciate your answer and I understand perfectly what you and others say. I never said that I just put the cam and period but anyway I need a new cam and I would like to keep the springs. My next step is to remove the cam and see the damage, ask to my mechanic for a full service fee and I'll...

    Camshaft replacement

    Please take a look into my other thread and read my last answer to Erik. I'm going to disassamble the engine front and remove the cam and hopefully wouldn´t find too much damage and I just need to replace cam and lifters, so I have the same rquest for you like I had to Hipster, please tel me...

    Lifter replacement

    It would be nice but there are some reasons that won´t take me into that way. One is the first you mention, got a flat tappet came broken in, hopefully I only just need to replace the cam and lifters. As you can see I post a picture of my first cam, when the engine was fully stock, just put a...

    Camshaft replacement

    As you know, I need to replace my cam and lifters, there is financial support in Amazon but just 2 options, those are cams one step up, more agressives, one Bare Bones and the other a Vodoo. The issue is that is important to reprogram the ECU and I can´t at this moment. With my current cam there...

    Lifter replacement

    Should be the best, first we'll check the debris and try to remove it and of course change the oil. But another concern, when I removed the intake, the coolant drop into the heads, what's your advice to clean it up?

    Lifter replacement

    Would be nice, I'll do my research about cost and benefits but this cam worked like 12 years without a problem, I guess is better that the Barebones, maybe I get one like this. Thanks

    Lifter replacement

    I just talk with my mechanic and that´s what he told me. The lifter is "loose" and knock with the cam. The good notice is that maybe the valves are ok. I'll get a new cam and lifters. Thanks

    Lifter replacement

    Now I know that is a must to replace the cam but going roller...hmm I don´t think so, would be nice but I need to spent as less as possible. The good think is that with this cam, the engine is wasting more gas, I had a Vodoo less agressive and gave me a better consumption, current cam can´t be...

    Lifter replacement

    Hmm, where? Nope, in this thread you can check post #12, it's the same but without the L. At my prior thread you can see post #15, mentioned I got the whole kit. Anyway thanks Hipster.

    Lifter replacement

    Yes but you were clear enough, those partners just told me that the damage was bigger, period. Anyway my mechanic would see the damage and I just wanted to the lower damage as an option. Anyway thanks to all of you.

    Lifter replacement

    Ok, you are right, there is a hole in the bottom of the lifter, so either the cam is worn, I need to replace both, lifters and cam. But now I'm concern about the knocking noise, if the cam lobe is totally worn out and can´t move the rocker arm, what is making that hammering, I guess the only...

    Lifter replacement

    Never being close minded, I always knew that could be a big damage but I like to think in the simplest way in order to fix it. Never denied anything, I just wanted a simple question. Anyway I appreciate ALL the answers. It´s like when I got tendonitis in my shoulder, went with a doctor and...

    Lifter replacement

    Ok, I got it, 2 questions about this. After overthigthen the rocker arms, I just drove it around 60 miles without pushing, not more than 2,000 revs. So you think that´s enough to smash the lobe of the cam? As I said before, there is a big bang, like a hammering, don´t you think that instead of...

    Lifter replacement

    Now I admit I don´t understand you. You know that I mentioned that got the whole kit and includes springs or please explain me like I was a little kid :)

    Lifter replacement

    Hmm there was a noise with the rocker arm tight it but when I loose it the tick turned out in a bang, something was hitting and making a big noise. The rod looks almost perfect, the spring and rocker arm too, so I think the valve is broken and hitting inside the piston. As you can see in my...
