Re: cam positioning

[William Cole <wedge64@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This question is for Don D.
I'm told that the cam has to be in the block a certain way. The lobes
should be offset so they are not in the exact center of where the lifter
hits it.
I've wiped out two different cams in my Max Wedge motor. I've had 3
different lifters seize up in the bores. Once on number 1, once on
number 2 and the last time, number 7. The last one didn't seize up but
it did wipe out my Mopar cam, (solid lifter type). When I pulled the
lifer out, it was wore exactly in the center of the lifter in the exact
shape of the cam lobe. I'm told that the lifter has to be offset on the
cam so it rotates the lifter. Is this true or is someone blowing smoke
up my arse? I've had a problem with this motor since it was put
together. Sure would like some ideas on why this is happening.

Thanks in advance,
Bill C.
PS: I've also had two different oil pumps on the motor too and it seems
to oil alright. Good pressure and flow. High Volume type.
