    My Jay Greene Cam job is.. uggh, done

    the only thing Im happy with in this transaction is that he used Paypal to invoice me, so Ive now disputed and escalated the transaction as a claim with them - Ill now have to wait 2 more weeks for them to attempt to contact him - Im guessing he will ACTUALLY respond to them although maybe Im...

    I definitely agree with you - Given all of the accolades and recommendations I got for this guy before contacting him, I was eager to go with him and would have gladly paid for his time/efforts had he shown any.......At this point with NO parts after 6 weeks and even LESS responses to my...

    My Jay Greene Cam job is.. uggh, done

    First, sorry to hear about all of your issues - this is scaring the hell out of me as I gave Jay money for cam/lifter/pushrods 5 weeks ago, didnt so much as email him the entire lead time as he was upfront about being busy, etc. Havent heard anything from him so I hit him up last week to get an...

    that blows, to say the least. So they are basically saying you voided your warranty on the maiden voyage home!?.....how?

    First Start after Cam Swap. Help pls!

    Hey bud. Yea I’d support your reasoning that you weren’t at TDC when reinstalling the timing chain. IMO All of those codes support that as well. Obviously check loose connections first as mentioned above but I’m pretty confident you’re crank and/or cam are not simpatico with TDC.

    update of 5.7 engine rebuild

    @CrasherAsher so where are you with them at this point? Seems like last conversation with them was 2 days ago with bottom end being toasted. Have they provided a solution yet? Apologies if I might have missed that. S

    Heads

    hey @CunningStunt Howd you make out on identification and install? Also what gasket selection did you make - of course I went to purchase the kit I recommended and they're OOS! Not sure of you had better luck? Maybe you got the last one LOL Im probably going with a Mahle set at twice the...

    When Not to Use Redline Thread

    @Burla skimmed through the thread and not sure if my situation was covered. Would appreciate an opinion. 2012 5.7L - 125k miles currently - as 2nd owner, I put about 40k on it using Mobil1 5w20 (original owner claimed to use same oil). My truck is now down for repair after common lifter/cam...

    Waterpump & Gaskets

    I was planning to go Fel Pro but All Mopar Parts has a Mopar gasket set for less $ - why dont you want the OEM gasket set? Mopar is usually good quality, but is there concern here? https://parts.allmoparparts.com/oem-parts/mopar-engine-gasket-kit-68417512ab?c=az0xJnE9Njg0MTc1MTJBQQ%3D%3D also...

    Well, half the camshaft battle...

    Wow!!! Im sorry (not sorry) that I asked the questions I did - lol. FWIW, @CunningStunt I totally get where you are coming from and understand that your situation IS fully predicated on a lack of budget to just do cam and lifters. Been there and done that. May the Karma gods be on your side...

    Well, half the camshaft battle...

    @CunningStunt I'm curious if you're replacing or reusing your timing chain? And/Or have at least inspected for stretch? I ve got approx 125k miles on my truck and wondering if I should plan to replace while there....probably already answering my own question. Also planning to reuse or replace...

    update of 5.7 engine rebuild

    Good looks! Im subscribed! Please keep us updated - Im about to do this work as well and have just changed my mind to Greene parts. Im curious what options you went with from him and ultimately if his lead time is accurate for you. If you have pointers on how to get the diablo installed as...

    MDS Delete Plugs-Advice

    Hi Guys Hopefully Im not hijacking the thread, but seems to be on point. I'm about to delete MDS myself, and am being told that the Block Plugs aren't actually a necessity??! So that would obviously mean, keeping the solenoids in place (unless Im missing something) Anyone else go this route...

    How to: V6 Efan Conversion

    The commenter bought (and did this mod) to a Dorman fan - https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rnb-621-410/part-type/fans-electric Are you saying this is one of the good units to use out of the box? I am under the impression its one of the ones that people say have a weak motor (ie low CFM) but...

    How to: V6 Efan Conversion

    Whats up guys. Happy Friday and Beers to the weekend!!! I am about to do this conversion while doing lifter/ cam/ everything else that all of us seem to have to do. I definitely understand why some of you have decided to use the 3.7 OEM fan over the TYC but as mentioned above it seems like...

    Non MDS Lifter options - Mother Mopar or Comp Cams?

    I should rephrase, Ive had great success with comp cam lifters in my older mopar engines, but not had any experience with their rollers....I think at this point (especially since the CC lifters are backordered to infinity atm) I'm going with moms lifters based on discussions here and fact that I...
