[TPR] Good news, bad news

[TeamPantera]

Sounds like a new engine for Ol Yella is in the works.

I have a like new Isky cam in box at home so dont have specs handy but its yours if you want it.

The bad news is it looks like the cam is wasted. I pulled a valve cover and found one rocker really loose and one loose enough to make noise. I pulled the other side and found three loose!  All the adjusting nuts/locks were tight. Bad sign. The only thing I can think of that would cause many loose rockers is a wasted cam. The rocker studs were also tight. Now I need to pull the interior and put a wrench on the crank. I'll put a dial indicator on a pushrods and check lift. I got a bad feeling. I guess that also explains the high oil temp and low oil pressure at speed. The cam was committing suicide. JB
