Wiped Cam Lobe/Lifter After 4000 Miles?

This is a 1972 413 Wedge from an RV that was put in my 78 Power Wagon, with the original owner claiming full engine rebuild with .030 pistons, a steel crank, heads shaved and a new cam. I put less than 4000 miles on it and it wiped a cam lobe and lifter. A full engine rebuild is going to be getting done with a collaboration with ‪@JAMSIONLINE‬

I’ve been a JAMSI subscriber for a while now. You’re right about the lack of machine shops left. They are dwindling as fast as the talent they once had. Jim’s is a solid choice. I only worry about the influx of jobs they are about to be presented with 😊. Nice pick Danner.

Yup, I have one in my area run in the back of a large mom and pop auto parts store. Never had an issue with their work. But I cringe every time I get the bill😂. Oh well, great work is not cheap.

[@sicklad3277]

it’s probably cause new engines are so much harder to rebuild, throwaway engines or usually just not worth it that the only machine shops left are just keeping the old stuff running and doing performance work, because obviously there’s no new cars rolling in they all just end up at scrapyard once their time is up and the owner just buys himself a new car from the dealer.

[@louiskogok8940]

Paul, I have watched every Jamsi video. I think you made the right decision sending the 413 there. I made a comment to them once that when the time came for my 03' 5.3L to be rebuilt, I was going to crate it up and send it out to them. Awesome content for sure.

Funny thing is when i was watching your video and mentioned you were looking for a machine shop i thought of Jims Automotive right away as i follow them and watch all their vids. They are the most knowledgeble machine shop channels that i follow and i enjoy their content. I cant wait to watch your block getting done. Ive built a few engines and 😅 an super careful to keep the cylinders oiled and keep it wrapped in a plastic bag at the end of each day to keep dust, dirt and even hair out of it.

Paul: Never trust what a seller tells you about the so called Engine Repairs. I bought 2006 Lincoln Mark LT that supposedly had all new Timing Chain Components replaced as new. Within 5000 miles of me driving it, the Right side Timing Chain Tensioner Seal failed. The Chain jumped a Tooth and the Cam/ Crank correlation DTC was thrown, (i e.) the Chain jumped a tooth on the Cam Phaser. I subsequently rebuilt the Engine with all new Ford Timing Chain components, VCT Solenoids, and a new Oil Pump. I cleaned the debris out of the Oil Pan and Pick- up Screen. The Truck has been running great for one year now. I like your Wood Burning Stove, we use ours as redundant heat and for emergency cooking.

The last engine I rebuilt was a Ford 351M about 25 years ago. I used a local shop in a nearby small town, Eagle Machine in Buffalo Missouri. Don't live in that area any longer but just looked, and they are still in business. A friend and I pulled the engine, pulled the heads, etc. and cleaned the worst of the gunk off. The whole short block and bits were loaded into the back of my 1993 Geo Tracker and dropped off at Eagle. They got a big kick out of my Tracker with a 'small block' in it. They did a great job and I would recommend them to anyone in that neck of the woods.

This particular engine is entirely out of my wheelhouse, but very cool to see! I'm definitely seeing storage damage on those cylinder walls, but I'm leaning more towards the painted oil pan being the culprit of your camshaft woes.

I have been watching their channel for almost a year now because they seem to do good work and very experienced in many types of engines from farm equipment to small engine. Where I am from most of this type of shop is gone now. There are still automotive machine shops but most only want to do the machining and no building other than a few race shops but they don't want to work on production stuff especially old school.

[@velocity550]

Wow, brings back a ton of memories. I worked for Ed Miller racing right out of high school and we had a full machine shop and I can't remember how many 340/360/413/426 wedge/hemi/440s I built for racing. I think maybe the guy that bought the engine was probably telling you what he was told. It doesn't sound like the guy built the engine, he probably bought it from someone else. I did an engine swap in a 1969 Charger from a 318 to a 440 and the guy bought a "rebuilt" engine from an individual. It turns out it was out of a service truck with low compression pistons, never rebuilt. I'm thinking the whole time I would be going with the 426 hemi crate motor. Nothing like opening the hood and seeing those massive valve covers.

[@randyr.parker2698]

COOL! Good to know you were able to find someone that still has the right tools/equipment to bore out these older engines. Seriously didn't figure there was anyone left still out there. Yep, seen a few of that 'aluminum colored black oil' a few times myself back in the day. Chevy 265, 283, 327, 350, 396, 402, 454's, OH, THOSE were the days! We used to have a guy in our area back in the late 70's, early 80's that was a 'master' of Dodge/Chrysler engines, and could he make them run. We called him 'Speedo Platt', his last name was Platt of course. He's long gone, sure miss his engine builds! Should be a good runner when they're done with it! VERY lucky that the engine is unmolested, VERY rare these days to find one of those! DAMN that cylinder wall looked bad! OUCH! Can't wait ti see the end result.

[@ScannerDanner]

As disappointing as it was to know this engine did not have the work that was claimed, I'm equally excited to hear how much it hasn't been touched! Original 72 bearings and a good crankshaft! I'll take it!

True on the RB 413. Very low Compression on your engine may 8.0 to 1. My 383HP 10.25 to 1 sat for over 25 years after rebuild and 3 years of previous drag and street use on NOS in unconditioned spaces. The rockers were loosened as to keep the valves closed. No issues after car restoration in 2012 and refire in 2014 to today. I did have a rocker failure and bent pushrod from an over rev in 2020 after a best in show win that caused no other issues. The cam was installed in 1995 and is a Mopar Purple 509/292 flat tappet! I used Kendal Straight 40W in the day and now use Valvoline VR1 SAE 40 High Zinc. Never have been an issue on my LB 383!

[@happygarage6310]

That is exciting. I dable in the mechanical side a fair bit, there's so much to learn. Especially when it cones to bearing wear, cylinder bore inspection, cylinder head and deck surface cleaning and inspection, its a different skillset. I believe that even though you and I are more adept at the electrical portion, having a basic knowledge of what's should be is very important. The cars sensors can give good data on what's happening, and knowing more of the mechanics can help us better understand why.

CWC Textron has suspended cast iron cam core production for the foreseeable future so in the not so distant future a reground cam or a roller cam will be the only option. Most shops today just have too much shop work to do and don't have time to do a lot of assembly work. A big Chrysler is a pretty friendly engine that's not difficult to rebuild.

Something to keep in mind. Mopar motors were built with either a standard or automatic crankshaft.

Hopefully whoever done this motor actually found a crankshaft for a standard trans which would be rather hard to come by.

So, I am new to this channel. I discovered this channel from watching the tear down and more recent short block work on this engine. My opinion is that someone actually checked the engine over and threw some paint on it and called it a rebuild. Sad that people do that shit. The cam lobe was coil bind, someone failed to check that the springs and valves were compatible with the cam, but with the paint issue the engine was doomed anyway so the decision to pull the engine when you did was timely. just my opinion.

Agree! 100% shotty work on the engine. But in the original owners defense, I'd have given him his asking price even if it didn't have an engine in it! They just don't come this clean. Thanks for the comment!

Jamsi for the win

There are a lot of motors painted inside, or at least there used to be. But it has to be done properly. It's problem not rattle can paint, or latex house paint.

I worked at a dodge dealership back in the 70s and 80s you can rebuild 360 and 340 as long as bore taper is less than 60 thousands . 318 are almost as durable. I don’t know electronics that much but I was the engine guy . Just rebuild it 👊🏻 the 413 should be same as long as 60 thousands left to bore. Going to be great 👊🏻

[@DependableAutoTruck]

keep in mind a properly built 413 will build more HP and Torque than you can use in the vehicle you have just bore if needed and put flat top pistons mild cam you will be happy

[@bcbloc02]

As someone that occasionally does automotive machine work in my shop I can say Jim’s is spot on in what they do. Those heads are not original I don’t believe as the 413 industrial used a different bolt orientation on the manifolds and yours obviously didn’t have the massive truck manifolds on it so pretty sure it’s just a 413 truck bottom end with a cam and some 440 heads.

Your wood stove must have some good fire bricks in the bottom for your cat not to instantly combust laying under that stove. 🤣🤣 I guess the good news is that the block and crank are stock and should be able to be machined.

[@ScannerDanner]

🤣 yeah for sure. It is well lined with firebrick and doesn't get real hot at all under there. The cats are always there!

It looks like the guy forgot to paint the inside of the cylinders when he painted the inside of the oil pan. If he had, maybe there wouldn't be rust in the cylinders due to a protective layer of paint.

[@Sublimethoughtswithnathan]

lets see those spring pressures before the heads are stripped down

[@iknowyourebrokeauto468]

YOU HAVE TO USE HIGH ZINC OIL IN EVERY OIL CHANGE WITH FLAT TAPPETS. New oil does not have enough zinc to keep the cam and lifters in good condition

I cant help my self, should of bought a ford, lol. Love watchinc your content

20 years pro tech here I specialize in engine work and was a drag racer so I did a lot of builds. I met a lot of back yard do it urself people in racing everyone has “the guy” that builds engines in his garage. I’ll tell one story which is very common so I go to my buddies house he’s got this guy over helping him with his engine that had a rod knock, the guy just slammed bearings, oil pump and rings in it, I said how was the crank did u get it polished? Did you have the rod that was knocking rebuilt or get a new one? The guy said everything was good I laughed and said no way it has oil pressure after 50 miles. Well on the test drive it had low oil pressure and was knocking again. I went with my buddy to look at a street car with a engine that only had one hour of run time he said he just did it. Said it had these high compression pistons and when u have experience u know a high compression engine specifically if it’s fresh feels like a diesel when u shut it off the engine stops spinning very fast and this engine didn’t, I put my bore scope in a spark plug hole and it had stock pistons lol.

[@ScannerDanner]

Great stories! Horrifying but still great. Thanks for sharing

I was looking at two holley 600 carbs I have for my 454 tunnel ram setup and one is a 6909 a factory holley for a early 70s Mopar 413. Kinda weird your video popped up.

[@weshawkins7165]

That’s sad to see. Pisses me off that people are so dishonest. That guy lied about doing the engine, wasn’t rebuilt at all. I’m better at building engines than I am the electronics side of things, that’s why I watch and subscribe to your channel. Shops around me are starting to stop building engines because of the liability issues with warranties. Bearings look like they had metal going through them.
