Thread: 3.9 cam lift

So I reckon it is OK either way.
There must be a LOT of oil flinging around in there at 1000RPM camshaft speed.

I reckon oil will come past the bearing in anycase. On ford windsor/clevos, its common practise to block the oil gallerys from the mains up to the cam bearings with a grub screw in which you drill a small hole. This is to ensure the crank gets priortiy at high rpm. The result is the cam and timing chain getts less, dosen't bother them, so I can't see why the LR engine would play up. Windsors oil the chain via slot in the back face of the cam sprocket. But the Roller master timing setts dont have this groove, again it seems there is plenty of spray around to lube things. I drill a small hole in the front gallery plug in windsors to spray some oil around the timing cover on engine with a HV pump. I wouldn't worry too much.
