you've provided zero information for us to help you, so please post the codes so we can help.

Yeah...need a LOT more info than just "sounds like a riding mower and it's missing real bad"...

Try giving us the following:

Year
Engine
Transmission (just in case)

The best description as you can of the problem...and all the codes it's throwing once you pull them again.

 

[pipkern05]

ok sorry will do i will see if i can get them and post them sorry for the lack of info

 

[s3nt3nc3d]

It's all good...we're not trying to be mean, just trying to help

 

[pipkern05]

well it looks like i will be replacing the cam and lifters once more with only 10 k on them and there is less then 60 k on it and it has no codes on it i put a battierie back in it and tried to see if there were any and there wasnt even a code history but needless to say me and the guy that helps me out came over we tried it ended up pulling the valve cover and it is the 1st cylinder and the last time it flatend the cam and lifters any ideas on what would cause that i try not to go past three grand and it red lines at five any help?

Does it sound like a john deere or more like a cub cadet?

Punctuation. Just an occasional period or two might be good.

somebody doesn't know how to install a cam and you don't know how to run high ZDDP oil. :banghead:

the cam must be installed with the proper lube, and you need to pull the head to do it. you should also replace all the lifters, pushrods and valve springs while you've got the head off. the valve springs must be matched to the cam duration...or you'll wreck the cam.

if you've got a 05-06 model, then your cam isn't getting enough oil due to the oil pump drive recall. all of them are defective and Jeep is paying for the install of the new parts, including rebuilding your motor if it caused a cam failure.
