Seeing the damage near cap parting line, I bet the rod was 'pinched' to grab bearing tighter. That procedure totally makes rod out of round. The cam alone didn't do that damage to bearings. That cam is the Extreme 286. The extreme line makes great power. They require good valvetrain because cam lobe ramp speed is very aggressive (some people complain of related valvetrain noise). Great torque and horsepower. I have used them a lot since 1999. But they gotta live to enjoy it. And because they are aggressive, we won't see 50k miles out of them. Simply the lobe is too aggressive and required springs are tough with needed pressures. However, comp cams magnum and hi-energy line I've seen 200k personally. If you brought your rods to my shop asking to be reconned, I'd probably rec a new set of scat. Why? Well, if you wanted recon and ARP bolts, I'd rec we wet mag rods. Then, shotpeen, install bolts, resize, and side clearence. Added up, buy new rods. And most likely the new rods will need some love. But they are new, no cycle life, better then O.E rods, etc etc I would make more $$$ prepping your stock rods- but having your best interest in mind, I would rec new.
@PatandDoopypoopy Ай бұрын
I oval track race. Some divisions require flat tappet of hyd or solid. I nitride all my flat tappet cams. Race or street. Stock or performance. If its flat tappet it gets nitrided (solid cams get lifters with oil hole on face, while hyd tappets are Rhoads brand. Also lifter bores get modified for extra oiling(you can do this yourself)
@PatandDoopypoopy Ай бұрын
Fyi for viewers. BBChevy had very heavy reciprocating weight(hard on rod bearings) combined with structurally under-bearinged (again- bad for bearings). Its very common to see big end of rod egg shaped. (I owned an engine machine shop- but dont trust me. Do your research).
@Hillbillygarage1215 Ай бұрын
