    Most flat tappets are going flat no matter, I just built a motor, had it on a break in stand, put in $100 break in oil broke it in at 2500 for 30 mins, dumped the oil and filter put another $!00 break in oil and filter and 4 hours later flat. My buddy just broke in a cam and same thing and while we were discussing it in the store two other people said their cams went flat. I just watched a video from a well know builder saying 50% of flat tappet cams now go flat. Also some builders will not even put them in and you can bet they know how to break in a cam.

    Thank you! This is the only video I was able to find that covers this repair. I've replaced that sensor on my 2007 Xterra. It was a shot in the dark to try to fix the issue of nice cold air coming out for the first couple of hours of a long drive to then get warm air. I figured the repair is simple and the part not expensive so let me give that a try. Fingers crossed; we'll see...

    Just some thoughts ……Brake cleaner evaporates too fast to use in that situation really, better to spend a bit more time brushing with WD40 and then flush it out afterwards with brake cleaner. If you leave in the hot tank for longer with the water boiling the agitation of the bubbles helps to clean it out

    "Break in" Did Detroit ever do this, or did they just do a 5 or 6 minute run in to check for leaks and vibrations/noises, and get the timing set plus final carburetor adjustments to decide if an engine was worth putting a transmission on? As close as I can find, Lunati came out with 'voodoo juice' somewhere near 1990ish, but other more seasoned engine builders would know more than me about special oils history. Point being, a "break in" is a final mating of parts - a burnishing of sorts. The modern variant strangely uses oils with decreased protection to accelerate wear. [Why are we wrangling with cam failures I ask?] There's only one engine component that has no other choice but to finish mating after a machine is built: the rings. And if the hone is good, that happens quickly. Our cams and lifters only need oil film protection - if ra stays under 40 as ground. Maybe... break in oil should dress the bores and skirts for assembly and that vr1 goes in the sump? There is no help from the SAE crowd because the astm tests [IVA and IVB] they lean on for cam and lifters both specify overhead cam engines as part of test procedure, and that means...API certs and product labeling are useless or non-information when the application is a pushrod/flat tappet engine.

    • @Gearhead.327
      @Gearhead.327 5 місяців тому

      During electrolysis, the Anode is the negative or reducing electrode that releases electrons to the external circuit and oxidizes during and electrochemical reaction. The Cathode is the positive or oxidizing electrode that acquires electrons from the external circuit and is reduced during the electrochemical reaction. If a battery is discharging, the cathode is positive and the anode is negative, conversely if the battery is charging, the cathode is negative and the anode is positive according to its greater difference of potential.
