    Help, Cam / lifter change 4 miles truck stops

    The book calls for 90ft lb why do less? It's the only thing keeping the phaser in time the pin doesn't hold it at all. That dealership guys an idiot, and is just getting lucky that his impact is probably torquing it closer to 100 + ftlb!

    Piston Damage

    Is that short term knock or long term? After the PCM see's ST spark knock it will start to permanently pull timing. My truck tuned monotoring with Diablo tuner only ever see's 2.0 St sometimes when climbing a hill at like 2600 rpm with a greene 87 tune running 87 the rest of the time it stays at 0.

    I would think this has to be either spark knock to much timing and knock sensor sensitivity turned down or running lean.
