- I bought the cheapest camshaft and lifter kit on eBay for 5.3L Chevy trucks to delete AFM/DOD. There was a surprise in the box... I install the parts and drive the Tahoe around. I have an opinion at the end.

That kit is soo awesome it made it a diesel.
"Maybe this is why my back hurts everyday..." Good thing you're still young!
I bought the same kit for my 10 avalanche. Never had an issue!! Once I updated the driver side valve cover. We was good! Put 80k on that engine
you make it look so easy!
Done a few of these, lol
Usually these cheap kits skimp out on the Lifter trays. I don't understand why. I mean, they are just plastic after all. They can allow the lifters to rotate which would be detrimental. I wonder if you used the kit, but used better quality lifters how it would turn out.
I agree. Lifters and trays are questionable in this kit. Camshaft? Who knows, maybe its ok.
Flushing out all that metal is a lot more important than ever diesel or mineral spirits so your new parts will last longer than the end of your driveway
this video torques ME to spec
Cheap parts, installed correctly 😅
You had to know something was up when you scraped the piston with a chisel, right? I would have ran the crap out of that engine. It sounded like it has some piston slap or the small end of the rod was knocking. It didn't sound like regular rod knock to me.
Did you test the lifters in the tray?
I thought he put them in wrong tbh😮
Are the lifters just out of spec? (Not the right length or diameter?)
No, they are supposed to be the right size. But they are low quality!
Sounds like a rod cap never got tightened! Did you remember to tighten the cap? Did you plastiguage the tolerances on that main or rod cap you removed? I would have done the clearances before you did anything to see if the bearings were trashed, you guys just assumed!
It got torqued to spec. It was a high mileage cheap truck to experiment with
Sounds like to me you didn't break in the cam properly usually with a new cam lifters you start up and let it run at 3k rpm 30 mins or so break in then change the oil..
Not on a roller. Install and race
