I try to keep the forum towards making wise choices and most of the people on here are in the states... so those kind of statement that I make are geared as such for the most part. Also it is because a lot of people, mostly truck owners, will read this kind of info (that are here in the usa), will see it, and learn that it is not so easy to just swap engines around in a truck without heavy considerations. This is so that someone can make wise choices.

Yeah I truely appreciate it. I used to live miami florida working for freightliner as there Cummins tech in the shop. But I open my own shop down in the islands . A lot of guys down here runs 870-871… I read your advice on the cams.. I swap a lot down here .. but will also follow your guide line on preventing…

biggest cam wipe problems can be prevented by ensuring there is never any crank case pressure buildup in the engine (using maintenance free cc filter or removing the filter all together) .. and to do overhead valve adjustments every 2 years or so.
