the gear on my cam that drives the distributor is destroyed and it skips timing.
i am finally getting around to replacing it this week because i have had pneumonia for the last week or so. i know i need
-new cam
-valve cover gasket,headgasket,waterpumpgasket and cam seal?
what im not sure on is some people have said i can just replace the lifters with the cam and leave the old rockers and pushrods and others have said i should replace the pushrods and rockers.
i have never done this much engine work on my own but have a friend who will be helping me
my question is this do i replace the cam, lifters, push rods, and rockers or just the cam and lifters? i want to keep the motor in good operating order but without spending a ton of money. if new pushrods and rockers are a must i will replace them if not i would rather leave them be.
also it is an 88 4.0 5speed
thanks,
Mitch
