Hi folks! I'd like to introduce Lilly to the group. After a looooong saga of engine work the 413 is finally in the vehicle. Equipped with a roller cam and stock intake and carb I'm told it dynos at 425 hp without the exhaust manifolds. I just hope it idles normally and is reliable on tours...

Not sure about a Cummins NTC, but when Cummins and JI Case got together to design the Mid-duty 12 valve motor they designed it with flat solid lifters. Mushroom style I think. Chrysler shopped around for a diesel engine for the RAM line found this and history was made. Last time I checked the...

The Rotella 15-40 is good stuff. I've used it for 22 years in my '98 2500 diesel. It also has an API rating for gas engines as well as diesel. Not sure about the others, though now I ad ZDDP as the amount has also been reduced in it, also. Not as much as in straight gasoline motor oil...

Lets say no discernible artifacts as the cam looks identical when I view it with a 10x optical loop. As I plan to use the car as a trip and tour vehicle, I plan on changing the system out, hence, the start of this thread asking advice on cam selection. Now with the heads cc'ed and using a shim...

The pictures were taken using the digital zoom on my cell phone, but there are no digital artifacts. What you see is exactly what I see with a regular 10x optical magnifier. The engine does not have much mileage on it from the rebuild. Perhaps less than 700 miles. To figure dynamic...

Sorry for the delayed response. Life happens. Here are some pictures of the cam. Unfortunately I can't match the lifter previously posted with it's lobe. All of the lifters look identical to the previous postings. I'm in the process of cc'ing the heads to get the actual volume rather than...

Does the engine sound like a large sewing machine? I've heard that the cam is a little noisy due to the rapid closing of the valves. Almost like snapping shut. What is your compression ratio? Thanks.

To me, the lifter wear looks suspect. Under magnification you are able to see pitting. I've posted a few pictures.

The gray came from the coolant. The oil level was up about 2 qts. The water pump is new not rebuilt. Running around would always get the motor up to operating temperature and several long trips to car shows would burn off any minor condensation. I do now recall seeing some bubbles in the...

Just got the heads back from the shop, no cracks. I checked out the block with at .002 feeler, all good in multiple directions. The engine only had perhaps 500 miles on it since the rebuild and the guy used the Felpro Perma-Torque gaskets which supposedly have a good reputation for sealing...

The oil had antifreeze in it from a supposed leaking head gasket that leaked over a 9 month storage period. Car was taken out of storage and run about 1.5 miles. That evening I checked all fluids before going out for the evening and found the oil level high and gray. Radiator was empty. Upon...

I'm rehashing a 413 rebuild my neighbor did for me for my 1964 Chrysler 300 (non letter). Rehash due to leaking head gasket(he is a Ford guy, what can I say?). Due to contaminated oil damage, I'd like to change out the cam with a better selection. I'd like to do this one time as the car has...
