Gen 3 Hemi cam phaser lock out.

Post by Bwh998 »

Any reason why I shouldn't just weld the phaser down instead of stuffing it with aluminum blocks like everyone else does?

Probably some case hardened pieces in there won't weld well.
In any case, welding is a nasty thing to do to a moving engine part.

depends on who is welding it and what process they use.
