cam

How's it going guys. I've started to plan a top end rebuild as I have low compression on cylinder 3. About 60 pounds cold/dry and 70 pounds cold/wet. The rest tested 150-160. I consider having my head worked but one is a 95tm and one is a 98tm on my 98. This lead to me to simplify the process...

Has anyone seen this issue before? I have a 2015 Explorer Sport with the 3.5L Ecoboost. It started to make a knocking noise on start-up and would continue for the first 5mins of operation. I called Ford and they said it was normal following a cold start and that it was addressed in the owners...

So ive recently decided to cam swap my explorer, and messaged comp cams about my idea, and had them recommend me a kit (k35-349-8 xe264hr cam) including guide plates, rockers, springs etc. I have a question about the studs, will i need extended studs, or will my stock studs work? Im not very...

Just picked up a set of 95tm heads toput on my 94 block. While I have it open, I'd like to put in a different cam. My question is-the 410 cam, is there a significant enough of a difference between stock to justify the cost/time to install it compared to a stock cam? Is the power gains of the 422...

I am going to upgrade the cam in my 5.0 and I have narrowed it down to 2. I want to know if anyone has any opinions on either. This is my daily driver. Both are from Comp. I am leaning toward the second one. SPECS: XE266HR 35-514-8 RPM 1600-5600 Lobe Sep 112 Center line 108 Duration Int...

Ok, i'm sure many of you are familiar with what I am talking about, Does anybody know how to do this, is it even possible! I put a 2000 4.0 (OHV) motor which has a 2 wire cam positioning sensor into a 97 ranger that had a three wire cam positioning sensor, snipped my old plug, have new plug...

Any one have a OTC 6488 cam kit for rent or sale? Preferably rent because i will most likely use it once in my lifetime. Im in the Bradenton, Sarasota FL area.

Hi. This is my first post. I am stupid when it comes to cars. I am trying to research if "my problem" is a Ford problem. My 2006 Explorer had 32,000 miles when I bought it. Sometime after that we heard the ticking that I have since learned may be something about a stuck lash adjuster? Our...

What do you guys here think about cams in a 5.0 Explorer? i really would like to see the power gain and that mean idle. :D So what cams fit or what is recommended

I'm new to the Explorer 4x4 scene. Actually I don't even own an Explorer. However, I have a Toyota pickup with a 3.slow V6 in serious need of some Blue Oval power. I'm going to swap in a 5.0 from a 97 Explorer. I work at an automotive machine shop, so have access to all sorts of fun tools for a...

Pulling my 99 4.0 SOHC apart to change the front cam cassette, and two tensioners. Also changed the jackshaft chain, and the balance shaft tensioner.
