Uncle Tony says Gen III hemi has inherent lifter lubrication problems. Agree?

I think people might be getting wrapped around the axle because of incorrect terminology being used.

Assuming the cams are crap, not gonna argue it, they are NOT de-laminating... To "de-laminate, that would have had to first be made in layers. Clearly that's not the case. Those were chunks that were coming out, not laminations.

My point has nothing to do with if and how they are failing, just the term used to describe the failure.

Please continue... but for the love of all that is holy, someone post some actual data or analysis that doesn't involve anecdotal evidence, even if you've seen it 1000 times, that doesn't actually "prove" anything other than it's failed 1000 times.

I'm also not saying the metal isn't crap. 43 could very well be absolutely correct, but I'm interested in the "WHY', rather than the what at this point. My guess is mother MoPar knows, but screwed up so bad they aren't talking about it. Would be a class action lawsuit. Seems there have been enough problems with the G3 HEMI to not discount the possibility of a design issue out of the box. Replacing cams is a lot cheaper than retooling and redesigning a block though. That and it would be major egg on Ma MoPars face after all of the "That thing got a HEMI in it" commercials...

I'm sure someone will make some stupid comment about my post, don't care.. I'd really like to see less bashing if people and more actual analysis than butt hurt.
