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
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.
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.
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!
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..
"Maybe this is why my back hurts everyday..." Good thing you're still young!
you make it look so easy!
Done a few of these, lol
this video torques ME to spec
Cheap parts, installed correctly 😅
That kit is soo awesome it made it a diesel.
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
The little blue plug jets think where it go😂😂😂😂
Did you have to delete the afm on a computer? Or tune for the new cam ?

I agree. Lifters and trays are questionable in this kit. Camshaft? Who knows, maybe its ok.

Bro love the content. Keep it up
You didn’t have enough oil in the motor hence the extreme noisy lifters.

It got torqued to spec. It was a high mileage cheap truck to experiment with
Did you test the lifters in the tray?
I thought he put them in wrong tbh😮
Do you have any idea of lobe lift duration on these cams or what they compare to
@@alfredmcneill6825 it's the same specs as a stock 5.3 camshaft
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!
So you shim the oil pump and tighten the spring? My 235k mile deleted 5.3 has 60 at idle you ain't doing something right boss lol
More important for oil pressure than the spring and shim on pump is delete the overflow valve on the oil pan and looks that he didn't plug that

Not on a roller. Install and race
I bought the same kit I used everything except the lifters and trays
