Isky isn't going to warranty this camshaft since it's not their fault. No problem was found with the other camshaft, so you should have assumed that there was something else was the problem.
She was tore into a couple of times, especially with the bolts coming right out. Usually in my 40+ years of mechanical work I will say that you should have had to work at getting the bolts out if original piece.
A little blast from the past... th-cam.com/video/BkGSv_1RL1w/w-d-xo.html Skip to 18m 54s mark and note the run-in time was "about ten minutes". Thats it. I can't find that info at any cam company today. I have a vague recollection of gm time being six minutes, but I can't find it, so maybe that isn''t so.
My 351w looked about 10x cleaner when i pulled it apart at 100k miles, i wonder if adding half a quart of atf once every couple oil changes cleaned it out. It always had conventional in it
So looking on summits website, I'm thinking i want to go 408 stroker kit and the full edelbrock top end kit but could use some advice, I'm not sure what will work best. Id like to be at around 500hp. Im actually doing the same transmission swap as you, which is how i stumbled across your videos.
@FloridaCrackerKustoms i am definitely worried about cam failure though, i guess i could break it in with my failing rod bearing just in case but it worries me how many are failing
Love the new intro!
Thank you!
Agreed with your valve covers and extra HP when you put it back together and I enjoy your channel!
Your correct on the oil and if it wasn't changed every 2-3500 miles you will have a little bit of junk in the top of the heads and valley.
Smart man with the bolts and you will not have a issue period.
That block is a roller capable block. The bosses are present for the lifter spider, but they are not spot faced or drilled.
Can't wait to see you break in the motor!
19:59 Looking good this morning!
Should be okay, if you think the bearings are still good, your in business!
Hopefully you are right about the bottom end!

@@derticktilghman5545 Summit Racing gave me a full refund, they were very understanding. Top notch customer service 👍🏻
Glad to hear that.
Add zinc additive to the Royal Purple and the break in should be flawless.
good video! thats why i always go with roller cams,i hate flat tappet cams there garbage lol
I feel that pain and I hate to see you go through all the work and have to do it all over again!

We will know what we are dealing with soon as you get the camshaft out of the block.
Small dish on the bottom of the first one you showed me.
Are those hydraulic roller springs or did you change to flat tappet springs

Possibly, I don’t think this motor got many oil changes in its life.

I think a 408 stroker kit, a high lift cam & a good set of AFR or similar heads would get you around that 450-500hp range.

@@garyyoung5080I’d switch to a roller cam setup if you can, much less chance of cam failure.
the piston on hole 3 un first side is smoked bet you no compression
Nice observation, thanks for commenting. I’ll do a compression test on it to confirm. I get a lot of blow by on that side of the motor.
Couple are wore and should have a Ford # on it
Too bad you don't have a good old long bolt to put in the end and easily walk it out.
Couple of discolored plugs and valves
Lack of spark in a couple of the cylinders.
