Ford 302 Teardown & Inspection - It’s Destroyed!

sucks the bottom end is gone but atleast the cam was ok! im excited to see the roller motor build!

I’m ordering parts now for the roller build. It should be a solid motor. Thanks for watching!

I recently rebuilt my original 351c 4V Cobrajet. My original builder and machine shop screwed up, bearing stack clearances, and wiped my crank out. I went full roller on my build and managed to save my cam, but new crank, new roller lifters, and dealt. Side note: Cam Research out of Colorado has a rig to break in any flat tappet camshaft ahead of time to eliminate the risk of blasting a cam lobe or lifter. Last item, going roller, seriously pay attention to your distributor. It’s tell you, ditch that GM HEI, look into a Duraspark unit. You can run a 6AL off a Duraspark distributor and they are good to 600HP. DUI Davis Unified Ignition is another really good option. From being in the Torino Community, seen more than a few guys have issues from those HEI distributors. Also, had an ‘84 F150 years ago…miss my bullnose!! Crazy chop hardtop removable convertible I built 25-27 years ago

KZbin just served your video up to me - Sorry about the bottom end :( ... maybe a look at the bearings on the roller motor in advance gratifying to know that your work was all good - seems a lot of folks are having issues with flat tappet cams lately and you did fine. good luck with with the next engine. 👍

Thanks for watching & the positive/kind words. The flat tappet cam issues are definitely effecting a lot of people lately, I hope the aftermarket automotive industry can solve the issue.
