Dan, ratboy, I saw your cam lobe. You smoked it! Lunati cam too! Don't worry, Jeff is Master of all things Motor and will build you one better!

Dan,

I think it is time for you to stuff a big block in there.

So you wiped out a cam lobe? Jeff will fixit for you.

I didn't have anything to do with the cam failure from what I am told other then putting in the best oil that money could buy ( Mobil 1 full syn ).
Yes it is in good hands at Jeff's and will soon be back on the road.

You were driving, the cam went south... Nuff said.

Mike

P.S. I added more pics.

DWRAT, Why are you using "the best oil that money can buy" ? That old 10W30 or 20W50 at $2.50 a quart works fine.

I figured it would protect the motor but I was wrong again.

Anyone know if the little dog in the orange Cobra was there?

John-Tucson · #49 (**permalink**) 10-28-2009, 10:12 PM

There was no poop in the parking lot pertaning to puckering puppies.

Here's a couple Oatman pictures.

I guess that's what the donkey thinks about Listers..

I'd think that donkey is lucky to still be alive. Good thing he didn't hoist a leg to take a squirt.

DWRAT,

Remember if you are running a flat tappet cam you need lots of Zinc and Phosphate. Mobil 1 doesn't have the right amount. Ok for roller cams.

So the yellow car couldn't do a burnout because it had a bad cam?

Hmmm.

Hmmm.

No,the yellow couldn't do a burn out because he's a wimp

.(Sorry Don)

DWRAT,

You are either going to have to run an additive (ZDDP is one) or us one of the few oils that still has the proper amount of Zinc/Phosphate. I run Brad Penn semi syn, it has the proper amount of additive plus a really strange green color. Some of the Valvoline Racing Oils have the right amount (not all the weights) check the internet. Comp Cams has a good writeup on what is needed.

That donkey sure liked Steve's ride!!!! Dave

Steve, make up a new license plate...... !!!! Tinkler !!!!

Danr55 · #60 (**permalink**) 10-29-2009, 07:00 PM

MOA is my preferred additive.
