Has anyone experianced this problem?
Weren't the lifter bores made for larger lifters, i think it was the same size as chrysler lifters.
i have a friend with a walkie and he had excessive cam wear..
bill lee had a perkins cam laying around his workshop for ages that he said would fit the walky, so it was fitted.. after about 2 years of computer mapping and programming problems, someone in perth was able to successfully get the computer settings right, and i was told that the car is going just so, so hard.
My Car has chewed through 3 cams in its life span
My current combination (standard stroke) delivers 300hp to the rear wheels - guess I have got it right this time.
As for comparisons to a VN SS? I'll race yah (on the strip of course)
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
i dont think a vn ss would really even come close to beating a walky down the 1/4 or track
and still you could never say the quality build and feel of a VN ss would eva come close to a walky
Does anyone know the fix for walkys rolling cam lobes, or was it mentioned before, by sleeving the lifter bore sleeved?? how does bushing the lifter bore help with this, i assume, oiling problem??
