Re: [Amc-list] New lifters old cam

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

There's no real cure for RM [Rambler mentality] With treatment it can be managed.
The best means of containment is as soon as the urge to use old worn out parts enters your mind, Take the rectangle of plastic and go to Summitt online and order new parts. This way you are still practicing some form of RM. Caution must be used as sometimes wives do not see this as an improvement!
  
   I've done the new lifters on used cams things many more times then I care to admit.
FYI, I've never had a cam failure. Of course we are talkiing short term use of a year or two of bracket racing, street driven beaters 30 years ago on old High zinc oils.
   If it was a throw away beater motor, I'd buy a cheap set of lifters, do the breakin and run it on Shell rotella. 
   Flame on! RM! Flame on!
