Re: Solving the Oil Pump Problem - Packard V8

I don't know about other manufatureres, but Chevrolet since about 1955 thru 75 that i know of used somekind of an oil impregnation process on the V8 cams and maybe even the 6's. I am curious about Packard cams. Just don't have the heart or a scrap cam laying around to take a torch to inorder to find out.

To this day i will not wash ANY cam shaft in solvent or detergent but only wipe them clean with a dry cloth or power wire brush if rusty.
