Silver XJ,
I have read over your previous build, am I must congratulate you on your persistence in finding the root of your cam problem. Currently in my garage is a 200 TJ, 109,000 miles, and have installed a Avenger SC with Split Second to help with the fuel. (This is a 5 spd) Installed are the Ford 24 lb/hr injectors. For some reason I ended up slightly bending #3 intake valve. It threw a misfire code, and could hear a miss. Did compression check, and #3 is dead. Pulled head, and no marks on piston, and only way I knew it was bent was I removed it from head, and spun it in head.
So I have it apart, I have purchased new head, larger stainless valves, and the Mopar V8 springs installed. I want to install a cam, but am scared because of your experience, and do not know which will best enhance the SC.
What do you recommend? What do I need to insure my cam does not 'walk' or have issues you had? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
