Re: Cam and Lifter failures
Found these today at a local NAPA store, west of the Mississippi.
The black NAPA Gold filter, by Mann/Hummel, has Made in the USA on it. So far. The white NAPA ProSelect brand has mostly the same markings, at approx half the price. Not sure how they compare to each other technically. The fellow behind the counter had heard the same story about a change of ownership, and more oil filters from china, less of them from better places. .

Re: Cam and Lifter failures
The world is going to hell in a hand-basket.
WIX offered a non-cellulose filter media to use with GTDI applications with SP oils. |

Re: Cam and Lifter failures
Hmmm. Now I wonder what to use.
There is a reason why those elcheapo filters are so cheap... |

Now the problem will be not being sold counterfeit parts (EvilBay and AMAZON 3rd party sellers).

I have been in the cam business since 1952 and now days I tell my customers I will only regrind their cam if it is an original OEM core with original numbers. The heat treat in modern manufactured cast iron cores is so poor it is a wonder they last out the door. There are areas that are almost as hard as a diamond and right next to that will be dead soft. No wonder they went to rollers. (and even those fail) Re-faced lifters can go in any hole. They should have .0002 taper on the face. Check by putting 2 lifters face to face and see if you can see light along the edge. The finish on the face should be at least 10 microinch. |

Re: Cam and Lifter failures
Boxed up and shipped.
Surprised at the cost of US ground parcel post. $60 including $500 insurance which I hope I do not need. Cam and lifters should be at Oregon Cam on Saturday. |

Re: Cam and Lifter failures
Hi KULTULZ,
I agree 100% on trying to get the quality. I have not researched the Motorcraft side yet but as you stated is made by Purolator a division of MANN/HUMMELL and is a viable resource. I'm like you our assurance is in being made to Ford specs. Our later buses are running Cummins in which we have been using Fleetguard. Since the NAPA GOLD switch in our area we have filled other spots with Fleetguard which is a Cummins owned filter company with the assurance of the Fleetgaurd being held to quality. I agree things are going sour on everything. ms fowler sure glad your able to get the MANN/HUMMEL in your area , in hopefully most part numbers will be made in the USA. Hope things go well with your cam and lifters. Steve |

MOTORCRAFT has it's own customer service and will have it's own dealer network that can help with fleets. They are a part of FORD, but much easier to work with.

Re: Cam and Lifter failures
Thanks KULTULZ for the info. I will do some research as to availability in our area. We will have to keep up the good fight for quality as long as we can!

Re: Cam and Lifter failures
DONALDSON closed it plant here and sent it to Mexico 20 years ago. Maybe different filter plants for other needs.

Pete, is that correct? Two tenths isn't much taper, and is pretty darn near flat. I'm used to seeing and grinding .001-.0015 on more modern flat tappets. I use a Sunnen tappet grinder.

I don't think the way you are doing them will hurt anything. The taper on cam lobes varies all over the map these days depending on who did it. The offset of the lifter from lobe centerline is the main thing that rotates the lifter. |

Re: Cam and Lifter failures
The offshore manufacturing is is mixed bag for me. Many of those companies/countries have proven they can make fine products, right along side the junk. To me, it’s a matter of quality control by the company ordering, and allowing the engineers to overrule the accountants. Then putting trusted personnel in charge of the quality control inspections.
Based on their background, an old line German firm gives me a better feeling. (I’m ignoring the current mess a certain aircraft manufacturer is in, in my backyard, in the town I was born in.) |

There is quality product, there is cheap product. It matters more on concern for corporate profit rather than the consumer. Most are now monopolies. You just buy the same product but with a different label As for Germany, they were finally beaten by the cheap to build and operate T-34. |

Re: Cam and Lifter failures
WOW thanks KULTULZ,
This is getting terrible. Seems the few of us that does their best to use the best quality products is coming is within itself a nightmare! We have to be a detective to even come close to purchasing what we think. The motorcraft copy cats are the most concerning to me as a saleman told me some 12 years ago that the Motorcraft filters being sold at Walmart were counterfeit and to be sure there is a certain number on them to be sure they are true Motorcraft (I can't remember what number) but it was on the filters at Walmart so assumed he was wrong and forgot about it. WOW now after watching that video he may have been right. Very Very SAD! Steve |
