as said above... but for my specific case, no noises, only an engine vibration at off idle with shaking that has disappeared after the ATF treatment... but now, I have a low tap consistant w collapsed lifter(s)candymancan wrote:How do you tell if your lifters are collapsed just curious ?
not too sure, as it is a tricky diagnostic, but from my experience, the collapsed lifter will rattle cold or hot, and more noticeable at idle.candymancan wrote:Reason i ask is my 360 makes horrible clatter or clanking when cold started but only if i drive it.. If it starts and idles its not there.. If i drive it it chatters badly for the first 100 feet then quiets up
Thank you for the offer, I managed to file the grade 8 washer to fit, about 1/16 to clean up on 2 sides.... of a round washer.... but if you can spare 2, lets pm for details. No rush, I need to check the offending cam lobe to make sure that it is up to specsbabywag wrote:I'm sure I can find a few bolts if you need/want?

If lifters are toasted then unlikely cam lobes are still ok.
Thank you, ordered the edelbrock performer. Will check for reason of failure, probably dirt...babywag wrote:I've got a stock cam(used) w/ lifters I just pulled from an engine lifters looked good too but I'd do new lifters and re-break in.
Engine by all appearances was rebuilt and extremely clean w/ good bearings.
They let it get water in cylinders though.
I can check all lobes if you're interested?
There are much cheaper than Edelbrock, same cam different box...letank wrote:Thank you, ordered the edelbrock performer.

Yes, but there has been some quality issues with the other brands, which one do you have in mind? It can always be returned...babywag wrote: There are much cheaper than Edelbrock, same cam different box...
Edelbrock doesn't do their own cams...there are only a few companies left(if that) that do them.letank wrote:Yes, but there has been some quality issues with the other brands, which one do you have in mind?

Thank you, I guess I am getting OCD... hoping not to mess up the cam bearings upon removal.babywag wrote:You lost me...nothing special about removing or installing a cam??
Also far as the cam...Edelbrock performer cam is what others refer to as RV cam. Comp cams doesn't offer it.
Like I mentioned Elgin or Melling
