No; you're apparently hitting the bottle too much, because you're totally wrong about my problem with your sig line. My problem with your sig line was that you were making a blanket recommendation for people to "get a roller and forget the ZDDP" when that is simply not possible for those of us (and, there are a lot of us) with slant 6's, BECAUSE NOBODY MAKES OR HAS ANY BLANKS FOR THOSE CAMS. NOBODY... and yes, I have shopped around... a lot.
Innnn cooorect.
If someone is willing to spend $1,000.00 up front to get a roller cam BLANK ground, they're off to the races, but then, they have to pay for the cam grind, which is a can of worms because there are no "masters" that are "slant-six specific," to use for grinding the lobes. They'd probably end up with a small-block Chevy roller profile, which might work... but probably wouldn't be optimum.
Do some more homework on the ramp profiles before making ignorant comments.
Those cam blanks would have no center gear to drive the distributor OR oil pump; a different ignition system would have to be built (crank trigger???) and an externally-mounted, belt-driven oil pump would have to be installed.
You lack imagination.
A hell of a lot of negative factors, (to say nothing of the money involved) JUST to get a roller cam.
Sometimes ya gotta pay if ya wanna play.
THAT was the situation that engendered my comment about your sig,; it was a blanket statement that seemed not apply to everybody... but didn't say that
Actually, I do believe you did. While you run that course, it didn't make sense because it was in my sig, not part of the comments being made. Taking someone sig. into commentary as part of it is only belittling yourself while twisting up the convo while trying to make someone look bad by entering such a statement as if it part of a testimony of what they said.
Maybe you didn't knoiw that when you installed it as a sig line. If that's the case,
You are so full of SH%^&( your eyes are brown, even your hair. I made mention of it at least twice (IIRC) during it all and you continued to ramble on and attempting to bash me further.
NOT accepted
So, I really agree 100-percent with what your sig line says; it just doesn't fit everyone's circumstances.
There's a twist from the last round of talk.
I don't know anything about cam/profile/rate-of-lift limitations, and I appreciate your comments on that score...
SCORE!??? WTF, were keeping score? LOL. OK, your on, you got it.
Oh; my other vehicle is a stock, '93 Dakota 318 Magnum (roller cam) pickup... I wouldn't have mentioned it in my rant about your sig... Like I said; I LOVE those rollers!!!
Those lines make no sense to enter in. But what ever floats your boat....
