You may want to look into a product called Slick 50 oil additive. I have been running it for 25 plus years and so far never an engine failure. It stops the wear. I once filled my lawn mower up with it ran it mowing a couple of times then drained the oil and mowed for a year and it never failed. Very true story. Look into it when you get a chance.
My recommendation would be to dump a couple gallons diesel fuel in the valley to try and flush out the oil pan and the interior of the block. It will not get all the internals, but it cannot hurt.
I bet money the guy that sold you the car change the oil right before you bought it. Glad to see you got the parts. I can't wait to hear it pound the ground
Poor old Tikki, Used to be the king of the house, now he has had to deal with Lucy, Casper , three birds, three fish, and Malti. Bless... Boots dont care.
When you put that intake back on. Only use a little rtv around the water ports on the head side. Just need to hold it in place. You don’t need as much as they had on the engine.
The best way to inspect oil filter is to cut away entire canister, remove paper filter, spread out filter material and inspect the deep folds. Rubbing your finger through a hole is not very effective. Haggai can explain.
That guy you bought it from knew it had a flat cam. He changed the oil and filter just before sold. That metal from the cam didn’t evaporate it ran through your oil pump to the filter. The metal filings are caught in every pocket through out the engine just waiting to enter oil flowing pass. I hope you know you need to break in the new cam at like 2000 rpm for 20 minutes. Metal has hit the bearings by now. Been there done this several times.
I got took on a truck that one time put a new cam in it and what was in the motor wrecked the bottom end had to do a complete overhaul.so i feel your pain. you need get a cover on that open vat of antifreeze before dog or cat decides to take a drink. it wont end well.
Good to see the filter clean, the material in the oil seem to be minimal. Change oil soon after Cam break in and you should be good to go. Consider 15-50w oil after that.
The one thing that I would recommend. It's to put a zinc additive in the oil And you also have to run the car. At 2500 RPMI do but leave. It's been a long time since I put a cam in a 5.9 diesel which a gasoline is the same thing So I would highly recommend to follow the directions That came with the camshaft and after about 3000 miles. I would recommend to drain oil and go with amsOil The reason why I use Ams oil Is because it has zinc already in it. It is not only made for stock, but it is also made for high performance modifications
Justin, there is NO such thing as luck in a eat up cam and lifters. If you don’t pull it and clean it completely you will eat another cam and lifters. Probably why that one failed!!! PULL IT!!!🤨
👍 on lack of metal in the oil/filter. You know there should have been some from the amount of wear on the cam and lifters. Like you said, maybe he changed the oil regularly or recently. Like they say, No news is good news! Get it together, run it a bit and change the oil a few times. How are the pushrods? Must be ok if there not being replaced. Silicone on a sbc is nothing new. It seems were ever there is a rubber gasket you have to goop them up a bit. The bottom of Timing cover/oil pan and the ends of the intake valley usually need a bit. Nothing is machined perfect on them.😉 Use a good oil with zinc and don't over adjust/tighten the rockers down. Cant wait to hear it run right! Keep the gasket scrapers away from your sons!!😅
It Wouldn’t of taken that Much More to do. You should do a complete Tear down an Rebuild . That cam had problems for an unknown reason. You put it all back an your going to have Bering problems in the back of the Engine.
I agree if you are going to do it then do it right take the whole thing apart instead of just putting a bandaid on a expensive engine OH well after he puts back together and something happens then he'll be spending more money
I agree with some of the previous comments. Your just putting lipstick on a pig. Dude sold you a pretty piece of crap .Save you self time and money by pulling that motor and go through it. Cheaper in the long run ! Just sayin'
Justin your puting good money to bad money you should take the oil pan off clean the engine ports cut open the oil filter take all even with the plans of that car you should take care of it properly.
Yeah you going to find me metal oil when you lose so much of the cam my 5.0 when I tore down I had a real problem get the lifters out of it and yeah once you change your oil you're all right go ahead and pull the oil pan on the bottom grab all your connecting rods grab a hole and see what they feel like you should be all right
Justin thank God there was no metal in the engine t-dubs was taken down all the Halloween decorations you have three perfect that learning from you and t-dubs
Quite frankly, after seeing the cam, I’d be surprised if you didn’t have metal in the oil. That damage has to go somewhere and since it’s swimming in the oil.. that’s normally where it goes..
The past owner hid Blown engine damages half repair, Heavy Duty 30/40 SAE oil hid smoke exhaust/damage oil filter. and FAST scam sell online say car is have excellect condition.
You can use roller lifters on that motor that I recommend it to your neighbor to go with a solid lifter and a hydraulic cam. Flat tire lifters are collapsing lately. Do not need very well.
You overhauled two diesel motors that were running a lot better than that car motor is. Why are you cutting corners now? Money is tight. I get that and you didn't plan on a major overhaul. The fact it ran at all, while surprising, is a good sign. A shining White car with a red interior? He's seen your channel, so he knew your weaknesses and took advantage of them.
And i bet u will be setting up Christmas stuff. One neighbor 5 house's up the street is setting up Christmas Decoration's and Jesse was like that is so wrong and i agree Thanksgiving is next (Jesse won't hardly eat much the day before thanksgiving. We will have Thanksgiving at the house this year. Justin and Justina (Middle son and his GF who lives with us cause of her dad's job that he had to move to Chicago. And they still have there house. And Justin and Justina are going to Chicago. I told both of them that we don't mind go have Thanksgiving with your mom and dad Justina. And she was like thanks. Jesse was like sweet more food for me. And Justina whacked Jesse in the back of the head lightly. And he was like just joking sheesh i had to say that she was like sure. Cool ur [part's for the motor arrived. Jesse got his stuff yesterday for his motor. And the manifold arrived and Jesse was like sweet it's the one i wanted. He is going to install one carburetor instead of 2. And he sold the blower and dual carb's to a mechanic at work. And Jesse told him how much and he paid Jesse and Jesse was like here u go. MSD stuff and Holly stuff is what he uses. That ain't good metal in the oil. U are going to have to get a engine hoast and engine stand. And tear it all down and Jesse was like i bet the engine was giving the previous owner issues so that si why he sold it. He will rebuild the transmission in the 2000 Ford Harley Limited edition Extended Cab soon. Transmission's slipping. And the Transmission has never been rebuilt since Jesse's Aunt surprised us with it on our wedding day. And we drive it like maybe several times a month around the block and around town.
Always use wix I worked as an auto parts dude for years I watched wix replace a $20,000 Caterpillar engine because they manufactured the air filter wrong always use wixthey stand behind their products and always save ur receipt

I didn’t know that stuff was still around.
U need to pull the whole motor and go through it because the way that front seal is doctored up and the way the top end looked

Not how to check filter
You need to pull paper out of filter and look at other side
Those scrapers are carbide scrapers and work wonderfully for that application

Honestly you should have pulled the whole motor and had the whole thing redone.
At least pull the oil pan to be sure there is no metal in there.
Or at least checking and cleaned.
I’d just be worried of any metal now on the cylinder walls and mains
I was thinking during the last video. Remove the hood and take out the motor so you can work on it.
Seems like amateur hour or doing it for the views?
I still recommend you use a roller cam and lifters….. have your heads checked to see if you have strong enough valve springs and the right keepers
Not how to check a filter,you have to cut the top off,remove and open up the filament!!
the metal will be on the inside of that filter not on the outer wrap
Good video yall man the kids are growing up fast. Praying y'all have a great safe blessed day 🙏
The one thing that I would recommend. It's to put a zinc additive in the oil And you also have to run the car. At 2500 RPMI do but leave.

When I get my Corvette in body shop it's hurt my plug wires 130 bucks she has on the odometer 40 k on her
Time for a 6.0 swap and have a nice clean cruiser.
Got lucky! Strongly recommend that you break in the new cam and change the oil and filter with good synthetic oil synthetic after.
When my kids get around my parts I get a serious nervous condition !
Justin, there is NO such thing as luck in a eat up cam and lifters. If you don’t pull it and clean it completely you will eat another cam and lifters. Probably why that one failed!!! PULL IT!!!🤨
I hope all goes smoothly getting the iroc back together. Looks like it will be a fun toy.
Wow i'm surprised The camaro sounded so good when you picked it up How is that
👍 on lack of metal in the oil/filter. You know there should have been some from the amount of wear on the cam and lifters. Like you said, maybe he changed the oil regularly or recently.

Always best to send an oil sample off if you’re worried.
😢 sounds like you got had bad brother good luck guys
Should have pulled the motor and built it in the stand as much as possible. The main bearings etc could be damaged.
You pull the pan i bet theres metal there
I agree if you are going to do it then do it right take the whole thing apart instead of just putting a bandaid on a expensive engine OH well after he puts back together and something happens then he'll be spending more money
Use a diesel oil, I believe it stop has what you need for that cam
Do you need to set up a duel, remote oil, filter set up
I agree with some of the previous comments. Your just putting lipstick on a pig. Dude sold you a pretty piece of crap .Save you self time and money by pulling that motor and go through it. Cheaper in the long run ! Just sayin'
Amsoil Z-rod oil would be a good oil to use. You won’t need to add anything to it.
Howdy howdy giod afternoon y'all just watched tdubs video lol great video yall
Scraper face is tungsten. Really hard stuff.
Justin your puting good money to bad money you should take the oil pan off clean the engine ports cut open the oil filter take all even with the plans of that car you should take care of it properly.
I would at least pull the pan and check for metal just for a piece of mind and installing a new cam I would have replaced the cam bearings
You need to clean up all of the antifreeze as soon as you drain it as it will kill your cats and dogs.
Pets are drawn to the stuff and will drink it with fatal results or high Vet bills to save them! Both your dogs and the cat can get to it easily.
Yeah you going to find me metal oil when you lose so much of the cam my 5.0 when I tore down I had a real problem get the lifters out of it and yeah once you change your oil you're all right go ahead and pull the oil pan on the bottom grab all your connecting rods grab a hole and see what they feel like you should be all right
doing a great job on your car, but be careful about the antifreeze it can make pets sick.
Be careful what you buy cause some people are out for the money and know something is wrong with the vehicle they are sellers
If the deal is too good to be true... It probably isn't! I know Justin will get her right tho lol!
Justin thank God there was no metal in the engine t-dubs was taken down all the Halloween decorations you have three perfect that learning from you and t-dubs
Hi Justin and Tdubs and family
Hello 👋
Good morning! Michael 😎🙏🏽🏆
Quite frankly, after seeing the cam, I’d be surprised if you didn’t have metal in the oil. That damage has to go somewhere and since it’s swimming in the oil.. that’s normally where it goes..
Be sure to wash your cam. And soak your lifters in oil.
It’s from the cam, it’s fine
Comp cams are chinesium
Cool 😎 !
The past owner hid Blown engine damages half repair, Heavy Duty 30/40 SAE oil hid smoke exhaust/damage oil filter. and FAST scam sell online say car is have excellect condition.

With that much damage you may have an oiling problem the cam bearings may be installed wrongMaybe Not looking good
Check your Facebook messages, I sent you the rags.
Dude just pull the motor! You’ll regret it later if you don’t. Why throw parts at a hurt motor?
You overhauled two diesel motors that were running a lot better than that car motor is. Why are you cutting corners now? Money is tight. I get that and you didn't plan on a major overhaul.

He bought a bucket of someone else’s problems.

So you gave up trucking

Anything that shows up in a filter has already run threw your oil pump.
It Wouldn’t of taken that Much More to do. You should do a complete Tear down an Rebuild . That cam had problems for an unknown reason. You put it all back an your going to have Bering problems in the back of the Engine.
