Lunati VooDoo Question

History on this motor is it was rebuiltnow 15 years ago. I bought it in 2011 from the owner that rebuilt it etc. Story goes he took a stroke and could not drive anymore due to some complications and they would not issue him a licence. So he parked it in his garage for until I bought it... The motor had under 1000 miles on it...

In 2011 summer we had stated it up and it was ticking aweful with a miss... it was found a lifter colapsed in the plunger part and a push rod bent a bit... Just replaced them and all was fine..


Last year we did a leak down test on it and discovered #1 #3 cyl were weak. so off came the head for inspection. The cylinders exhaust valve were hanging a bit not seating etc... I had the head rebuild and did the valves and strings etc etc... Cleaned up intake and bought new carb and changed the ignition to MSD...

On inspection the Cam lobes looked well and lifters too.. all smooth and it went together...
Drove it all last summer and a few big trips including MoparFest in New Hamburg.

Then last friday I noticed a rougher idle then normal and then going to work I started hearing a ticking... By the time I got to work it was running poorer and ticking louder.

So We will take it apart later this week as I want to take it to my buds garage as its super new and clean lol...

Will know more when we ripper apart...

Reason for this thread is to hopefully prepare for either Lifter changes or complete cam change...

I only have been running royal purple since the first lifter change

Thanks for all the inputs

:burnout:

edit

Just went to look at my bills... the springs are Comp 901-16 I beleive they are only rated up to .490 lift ?
