When you had the cams and lifters changed out,did you re-use the stock cams or stronger cams?

Hi Clint,

I am using the catch can. I ran it so it sits just behind the backer plate of the air A/C. Shows just a little. The A/C has always weaped a little oil after i did the stage one kit. I just dealt with it not knowing these external breathers existed.

The cams were done about 1000 miles ago. They are new stock cams from a 103 high output. Within 100 miles i found the out was coming out of the push rod, I just could not convince the dealer of that. So when I completed the external bypass yesterday and then went for a ride, noticed more oil than ever I went straight to the dealer and they finally beleaved my as the A/C was bone dry. The have taken the push rod apart and found a torn O ring. Im just glad something was actually found. Looking forward to a oil free ride!!
Thanks for all your help and patients!
