The Big Cummins Camshaft I have has a Severely worn lobe, probably from a
stuck lifter!
A bit too heavy lol
being roller lifters, they have a roller bearing at the bottom, so they
must be oriented correctly or the cam lobe will smash on the side of the
lifter, instead of on the roller 🙂 i hope that makes sense!
Great video, that engine still starts fast even under those conditions.
Thanks for showing.
Very nice. Very interesting to watch What’s the cause of the cam failure ?
lube problem ?
It’s what you explained at the beginnnig. i saw it but didn’t understood
correctly till i saw the explanation video where you show the lifters on
the plate. i didn’t get the whole system till that. i thought lifters were
like tappets flat and round with the ability to rotate without problem.
Thats good! 🙂 An engine that still runs deserves to be rebuilt.
someone put roller lifters in there without the guides, so they spun around
in their bores and the camshaft got smashed up 🙂
poor old thing 🙁 thats pretty bad damage. makes a nice show running like
that tho 😀
poor old thing, it wants to live! looks it got still plenty of compression
left exept on the two last cylinders
Gotta love Diesels!
Sure. Thank you. Quite strange system on a diesel truck however.
i like his laugh 😀
isuzu have been using them since the mid eighties, attempts at minimising
drivetrain losses i guess
not worth it when i have a spare cam
You should hang that thing on the wall as decoration 😉
To do that they should have used solid tappets or hydraulic lifters on a
sohc system. my diesel car has a inline 6 sohc with solid tappets. it’s a
1976 desgin. they did hydraulic lifters then for easier maintenance. But i
will not learn them what is best for them they must have a good reason :
maybe the injector top position set up was their problem. with big bores
it’s quite difficult to have a good flame propagation if it’s not centered.
I wonder if the worn cam lobe can be fixed by adding some weld to it and
then regrind it to the proper profile.
thanks mate. appreciated!
poor thing. this is why you must change the oil sometimes :p
