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
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."
