Help! Dealer claims camshaft is bad and needs replacement
1 Attachment(s)
Hello Folks :cheers:
Unfortunately my engine (Box 2.7 2004) needs repair since cyl 4 lost compression due to a broken lifter spring/broken valve... The dealer quoted me a whooping $13500 (without labour) :rolleyes: I managed to reduce the cost a lot finding some used and aftermarket parts but the camshafts are harder to find. Dealer said i need new Camshaft because this one is "damaged" due to this discoloration (attached image) and needs replacement. Any expert here please share your opinion https://986forum.com/forums/attachme...1&d=1722708772 Thanks as always :cool: |
It also looks pitted, no bueno.

Yeah i get that part, its bad, but why he insisted and pointed his finger at that little disoloration ?! That was the main "issue" and its a bit weird. |
Once a flat tappet cam begins to wear, it is all over and will fill the entire engine with finely ground metal.

Boy, when I used to work on 944s they pretty much all looked worse than that on every lobe. I think we mostly just lived with it but parts were plentiful on those.
Can a machine shop weld and regrind it? |

Cause I have found few used camshafts on eBay and almost all of them have that kind of dark spot wear on the lobe. |
for example i found this one on

id be surprised if this cam couldn't be built up and reground, I had my 911 done and it has been perfect for years..
maybe new cams are different. it was a place in riverside california , but just cant remember the name. If you can find it call them , they might be able to give some advice. found it .. Web-Cam give them a call |
