Cam Pitting

Cam Pitting

LISTEN UP EVERYONE, the problem with buckets, rockers, and especially the CAM LOBES themselfs pitting is caused by,

USING THE CHOKE WHEN YOU START A COLD ENGINE!

This causes a cold engine(not much oil in top end yet) to rev at 3-4000rpms, causing this accelerated wear.

Don’t use much choke and let engine idle as slow as possible when you do use the choke.
