Dodge 4.7 blew the camshaft caps to poo poo... How in the crap does this happen? I'm thinking oiling issues but not sure.

Based on the fact that it looks like the rockers are non-existant, I'd say one of them acted like a pry bar.

Not to turn this into the tools thread, but does anyone sell a case like that with no jack in it? So I can use my existing trolley jack, of course. Bonus points if it holds both big rubber HF chocks.

To contribute to the actual thread, I use scissor jacks, they're great! As chocks, in a pinch.

Pelican makes some sweet-rear end cases.

I had a very similar jack in my 72 Dart. I can still feel the pain of pinching the meat between my thumb and finger every time the jack head would release from the ratchet and come flying down the pole.

Not too horrible, but this is what a decade of cavitation looks like.





Pump came out of a media filter for a cooling water sump (think of it as a really big pool filter).

Discharge cavitation. Someone needs to increase their filter PM's.

Rapid Unplanned Dimensional Alteration



This is what happens when you run a shaft in a bronze bushing without lube. 3600rpm for about 30 seconds.

What's interesting about this failure is that bronze is fairly soft. If you look at the failure, there is very little plastic deformation. It looks like one big fracture event.
