06 Rebuild - Cam question
Been lurking a while but haven't posted but here goes....
Truck is an 06 2500 Megacab 4wd with a 6 spd. Has 138K miles on it - all stock, but has aftermarket 4" turbo back exhaust.
The other day I lost a valve seat, broke a valve. Damaged the others in #5 hole.
Talking to engine builder, he said since truck is stock, he has no problem rebuilding with a stock cam, but does offer Hamilton or Colt Big Stick if I am interested.
I know nothing of either of the aftermarket cams. One better than the other? Lift and duration are close on both.
Again, truck is daily driver, do tow a good bit, usually 10K or less. Only upgrade will probably be a Smarty Jr, but that is it.
Engine will be built with QSB480 pistons, so I know I will have to change injector tips.
Any pros or cons to the aftermarket cams?
Thanks.
