  • I finaly get a chance to install my performance camshafts in my Jeep Dodge Powertech Magnum engine.
    You will need to upgrade your valve springs and change to solid lifters to do this. I hope you will enjoy my automotive adventure with me.

    Sir, don't you quit sir, If you're alone know you never truely alone. Stop the self pity man, let the doctors try, What is it that you want to give up? Not that there haven't been times when I wished I was dead or someone would provide me the favor.

      I was not talking about giving up life my friend just working of any kind. I love doing things building things inventing things. I have a loving family that needs me. AusPhil Adventures is my other CZcams channel. My wife has* its bor it's bor* before meeting my wife I committed suicide 3 times and succeeded twice but I was resusetated. I wake up in so much pain some mornings I pray the night before not to wake up. The Dr's cannot fix my problem it was a car accident in 1987 so after 20 plus surgeries there is not much hope of recovering at this stage. I'm a big strong man and people judge me as healthy a lot not knowing how much I suffer. But thank you for caring and God bless and keep on jeeping.

      Just want you to know I watched your videos often and it inspired me to put ho cams in my 47 which today I will start for the first time. I'm glad you're doing well. I did see your more newer videos. I hope you're doing something for the pain and Australia is far too beautiful. A land to want to leave at least too early

    install without removing the intake or fue rail. That cuts the job down to size. especailly If you're not doing your valve springs. I've got a new motor installed so my springs are still solid. I have the new cams. I gotta warn you all, if your timing chain should slip off the idle sprocket the sprockey on the crank, you are royally fucked. You need to be perfect. Do not let any slack work it's way do to the crank and main idler sprockt. Ensure that the chain is tight and that you have the cam ready to apply the timing gear. At that point it better be bang, bang, and you got your shit in a row. The soon the timing gear is on cam, cam installed with a couple caps installed you can then breath easy. IT's so easy to fuck this up.

      Get it fixed ASAP don't drive it as the seat can destroy your engine.

      I had them custom ground not available of the shelf. Yes bigger than HO and more powerfull in fact waiting for a stand alone engine management system as the stock system cannot keep up.

      Are you aware that by doing this you will have to install solid adjustable lifters? You could try shim the hydraulics but my concern is that they would not cope. Buying the camshafts HO then double shipping to Crow and back plus the grinding wich took a long time as it was custom. It took around 6 months or so it cost me all up around $700. The grind cost about $300 if my memory serves me right. Rik

    • @BuiltByRik
      @BuiltByRik  Před 6 lety

      You cannot buy the camshafts you have to find a camshaft company to re profile some existing camshafts. It took me years to find a company here in Australia to do it. I originally purchased the solid lifters from airram .

    What is 4.7 camshaft netraul position???

    • @BuiltByRik
      @BuiltByRik  Před 5 lety

      The same as all other camshafts at TDC the lobes stick up evenly like a V above the camshaft. Maybe Google it for a better explanation 😂
