That is the most awful smelling stuff!! Must be good!!
I've never seen a roller cam do that. Bad lifter?
That cam/lifter set had over 300,000 miles on em. The rocker (stock paddle type) had enough wear that it created a little lash. Hydraulic Rollers HAVE to stay in contact with the lobe, it’s how the ramps are designed. As soon as there is lash the roller beats the **** out of the lobe. And above is the result.I've never seen a roller cam do that. Bad lifter?
Same engine that the cam came out of from my pics above in post 56. I have a turbocharged gen7 8.1 in my daily with almost 600,000 miles and two more in service at work. One of my favorite engines I’ve ever had. Curious, what rockers are on the stationary gen set engines?That is out of a BBC, Gen7 engine, 604 cid. This was in what's called a "gen-set", which is a stationary power plant. That would run day and night for years at near 2000 rpm. It had 1.3 million hours on it, which is about the same as 780000 miles.
And what did the lifters look like?Here's some more roller ideas for anyone. I think Honda uses something similar on their VVT system.

We're the rollers stuck? If they stop rolling the cam goes flat. Heavy valve springs?Post #55 above.

The newly designed ski jump lobe.
I posted a pic of the frt in the racers forum, I have that one full, never opened. Lol! Have no idea exactly when they stopped sending that with their cam kits.Good luck finding some of that today.
