She Finally Had It

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

I recently developed a leak in my gas tank and due to the fine Italian engineering you must pull the motor to get the tank out. Since the motor was out I decided to open it up and refresh things. We've put 4 open road races ( including one at 5800 for 35 minutes ), 6 track events, and many road miles.

I opened up the manifold to find that two of my Comp Cams roller lifters had worn badly on the roller due to bearing failure or over tightning. Also the two cam lobes were also worn. Additionally I found one coil spring which lost a coil and broke.

After all my bragging about how this motor has held up despite the roller lifter setup, she finally had it. I do have to give some props to Comp Cams, after I called them with my situation they give me a big discount on replacement parts.
