Re: 1991 Build
 

Leave the motor Polished

Re: 1991 Build
 

plan for a rebuild

Re: 1991 Build
 

Why?

Re: 1991 Build
 

it's time is limited.

Re: 1991 Build
 

because...

Re: 1991 Build
 

they used kirchoffer (sp) to do their builds

Re: 1991 Build
 

I think you are referring to cam failures, this car has no signs of that....it will also be getting new cams either mine or petes grinds.....

I am actually trying to see if the Jeal Cams can be saved, spoke to Corey, he has Jeals and advised that the failure issue had to do with a lack of camfer on some of the cams....

These cams and lifters have no evidence of failure

Re: 1991 Build
 

No I would ask Al about Kirchoffer builds..

Seriously

Re: 1991 Build
 

Lee, I'm curious about the Jeal cams as well, as I was told that there was only an issue with certain materials. I have a set that was in my Turq car. I need to get them Rockwell tested. They had over 20k miles on them and no issues.

Re: 1991 Build
 

I am having mine rockwell tested.....I have spoken to a few shops about possible ways to address.....Corey Henderson told me its the way some were ground in terms of taper on edge of the lobe...

While Bill K might have had issues with large strokers, 368 build not really Rocket science...and yes the cam failures did him in....368 I have not heard of issues nor did I see any on the net.

Having talked to someone who owned one. "The liners leaked into the engine. Many if not all theyre engines leaked sooner or later."

Re: 1991 Build
 

Bill built a 415 for me. very happy with it

Re: 1991 Build
 

yeah, the cam thing is what the major issue is.....
