Hello, Because of less problems with the Olds 58 weekendroller I wasn't very active on the forum last years.....till now.. Last year the 371 started running rougher......had it 2 times before.....another flat cam. Figured out that I ruined 3 flattappet camshafts in the past 18 years. This last one ( 2016 ) had about 6000 miles on it. Installed it with the right grease, and always add zinq to the oil, but still ... I know it's a 56 to 59 Olds problem, and I like to rebuild a spare 371 also, and thats why I would like to know if anyons converted to a rollercam and ( 0.921 ) rollerlifters. Can't find any online. Any information ( or idea's about a much better flat tapped cam/ lifter combo ) is very welcome. Greetings from the Netherlands Gerrard
Just curious , what are the issues with 371 OLDs ? I would think one of the older Cam manufacture could make a custom Hyd Roller cam , $1,000 - 2,000 Cam & lifters , & if there is a oiling problem ,, with creative thinking use like oil squirter to extra lubricate the lifter and cam, Off top of my head I do not Know any thing about Olds 371, Crower Clay Smith Engles Isky Ext ,,
