I would be running Oil Extreme additive in your Engine Oil. Zinc is 1960's tech. Oil Extreme has Calcium Sulphonate...... That will ensure Your lobes stay on
the examples I have seen of WPC are very impressive . Friction is greatly reduced which is confusing to me because you are making the surface rougher . I think you did well
Thanks for the comment I have another camshaft and lifters that are going to go out to get WPC treatment done and cryogenically treated this camshaft and lifters will be going into an engine that I’m going to rebuild and do a video series on and I’m going to test it to see how the WPC treatment holds up my take on it is since it’s a micro shot painting process that it surface hardens the metal but also helps with oil retention to provide more lubrication in places Metal to metal contact occurs
It reduces friction because it's microscopic, and it covers the surface in these microscopic hills and valleys. The valley's trap air and/or lubricant, which does help, but it also significantly reduces the contact area. Instead of the two pieces being flat, with a very large contact area, they are only touching on the tops of the "hills." Effectively, WPC increases surface strength, reduces friction, AND improves lubrication.
not yet I'm going to be sending off the crankshaft soon to the machine shop for modification when i get that back and the pistons in then the block will go to the machine shop i will do a update when the crank is back

Rob, any recent updates on using the camshaft and lifters?

I may want a racing camshaft
this is a fast road cam Duration @.016 279, lift .295 at the camshaft, Intake Timing 8 to 41, Exhaust Opens at 41 to 8.
Cylinder bores, that was my first thought.
what does it cost to WPC treat a camshaft?
to get currant pricing it would be better to contact them at www.wpctreatnent.com
Hi there, did you cryo treat it before or after the WPC treatment?
Thanks for the comment The cryo-genic treatment is done after the WPC treatment according to the people that do the WPC this is the preferred method
@@octagongarage3504 Thanks!
@@octagongarage3504 Actually the cryo is done first.
@@motoiq does WPC do cryo treatment in-house?
