Cam shaft backordered

That is the most straightforward explantion.

Cuz Covid, Arbomex faked their COA's, and actually made cams out of old Faygo cans.

Now just to prove it, file a sweet class action, and collect my 53.00 payday!

And I like Faygo pop , the grape is the best !!!

I was going by THIS ->



and this ->





That makes more sense - and is what I've been saying here for years.
Oil "weight" doesn't matter, will be of no help, and can make things worse in the longer run.
And the baxter thing - another item sold to solve a problem that doesn't exist.
It will resolve busted oil filter housings and associated parts, but that's it.

I'm glad he didn't actually talk of bearings...... and besides, even with the Gen 1, that's been resolved with newer parts (according to some who work on them.)

And - I qualified my comments with this - note the if...........



I left an out there.

FCA says it's a manufacturing issue (quality of parts, raw materials, machining or final hardening processes, whatever)

His mention of bearings was more of a hypothetical on what could have been done in response to the needle bearing issue.

I'm going to ask, what is a Faygo can? It sounds like a brand of soda....

Performance cam and lifter companies have seen this issue for decades - the thin "needle bearings" can't take the pounding. What they did for roller lifters was get rid of the needle bearings and use bushings instead. Problem solved.
He's not far off on his thinking - and if he was into performance aftermarket for certain V8 engines, he'd find some of his thinking that you posted here validated.
And maybe that's what FCA did when they issued the new part for the Gen 1 in 2019 - redesign the bearings??
