I was talking to Schneider Cams last week and they had the same cautionary tone when talking about FT cams. I almost pulled the trigger on one of their hyd rollers. What did Competition Components spec for you?
The reason I started this thread is to maybe get some answers. I have been researching this for 4 weeks since it happened, 2 guys on here asked the same question I asked Lunati…how could that much damage happen in 15min? I don’t believe this was your typical wiped cam/break-in issue. That lifter...
After pricing a researching hyd rollers and all associated parts for the past few weeks that’s exactly what i decided to do today. Should have her up and running in a week or 2.
I’m running a Hughes FT cam and lifters in my GTX, a Comp FT cam and Hughes lifters in my Coronet, and prior to this issue a Lunati FT cam and Hughes lifters in this engine. The engine is fresh, only had 100miles when i decided to change heads and cam, wanted to bump up compression and go with...

Well it finally happened to me. I have been breaking in cams in for years without issue. 15 minutes into break-in engine started hammering. Pulled intake and found this on #5 exhaust. It went down fast, sent shavings throughout the engine. I used Driven break-in oil and assembly grease. Engine...
Cut the old gauge cluster out and fabricated one out of 1/8” aluminum. Still need to paint the surround, install indicator lights, and secure… but it turned out pretty good.
