07cl733 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Since a blown head gasket has led me to an in-frame on my 2000 etech 460 that has 1.8 million on the motor and 750k on the current build, I'm pondering changing the cam and/or lifters. The motor ran great and the cam looks good, but I don't know if it, or the lifters, have ever been replaced. I've read from this invaluable resource, bigmacktrucks.com and it's members, that the lifters can go bad and take out the cams in these motors. Are cam failures common enough to justify going deeper and spending thousands of more dollars? How about lifters without the cam, would that be a better idea? Or even just the eup lifters, as they seem to be the biggest problem? Joey Mack, if you're out there, I read a post from 2022 that said you were using a pai cam and ceramic lifters. Would you recommend that combo for the etech? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76519-thoughts-on-cam-shaft-replacement/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
