Driven FR50 seems like good stuff

FWIW, the Ford Performance racing school uses Castrol edge in all their MACH1s and Dark Horse cars, and those get hammered.

My car likes the taste of this stuff-

Hey guys, we're on page 5 now, and I'd like us to stay on topic about his engine issue, rather than oil brands and weights. Even though oil is related as well!

Well stock cams are on national backorder with no ETA, so if I can’t track one down I’ll be getting comp NSR stage 2 blower cams. Bummer, would rather save $2k and stay stock.

While I’m in the motor I’ll be replacing all followers, adjusters, cam cap bolts (TTY), cam phaser bolts (TTY), as well as primary and secondary chains.

For the lube lovers, I’ll be going 5w50 motorcraft because Roush does with their kits.

Am I missing anything?

Replace those bolts with ARP non TTY bolts imo. But as long as you are replacing them after they have been torqued with new TTY bolts and doing it right, they should be fine.

I thought we were past the rocker clip issue and the OP wanted intel on an oil change for less than $250.00 that won’t shear to a 30 weight.

Issue is still unknown. Rocker clip is still in place. I’ll report back when after I track down a cam and tear it down.

You all good on the oil ?

 

[LunarS550]

You all good on the oil then ?

Yeah I got FR50 delivered by summit racing today.
I do appreciate your input

If I’m stuck with getting aftermarket cams I was suggested Comp Stage 3 N/A cams, valve spring upgrade necessary for my application? P1X 10psi on E85 street car with maybe 2-3 strip outings each season.

There is no current U.S inventory but 4 pcs are on the way to packaging, I have seen this process take up to 3 weeks. I see no backorders in the system. Here is a link with pricing

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,

What are the odds all 4pcs are spoken for already? I’m fine with waiting 3 weeks to save $2k on aftermarket cams lol.

Ouuu good suggestion.

I assume the graph is stock intake with their exhaust cams?

I’ll ask my tuner if they will tune them.
