When I say loose...I don't mean the bolt was finger tight...I mean that it merely loosened some from it's 45 lb torque requirement. It was still...
I suspect that when the cam stopped turning briefly when the pistons hit...the inertia simply sheared the oil pump shaft. I have checked the cam,...
Yes...but it was not without a lot of cussing, fussing, throwing of inanimate objects...retrieving said objects so I could attempt again...and...
Apparently the bolt holding the timing gear on the cam loosened slightly, and the dowel pin sheared off. This allowed the gear to move just a...
HAH...that's a good one lol! If there's another one of those incidents...I'll park it for the season lol (well...intentionally anyway :D). And...
Lol...only about $1400 worth :rl: And honestly...I'm pretty happy that that's all it was...
Well...I finally got the pan dropped enough to get the oil pump out and change the broken oil pump shaft. If you can see...the top end was...

Discovered that when the valves kissed the pistons, I apparently sheared off the oil pump shaft as well. I'm trying to remove the idler arm to...
I distinctly remember several people helping push Rick Books car onto his trailer in Owensboro...only to discover that the trailer was no longer...
Wow...that's not very encouraging lol. I'm planning on switching to a bigger cam over the winter, and will have it drilled for double pins...or...
Thanks Ward...I suspect it will run much better without the valves hitting the pistons :2thumbs: ...that's been my experience in the past anyway...
Cam and lifters looked fine. Solid Roller cam and lifters .614 lift IN/ .621 Ex. I'm gonna guess that with the bolt not holding pressure against...
Just got AFR heads back from machine shop. First trip out with the new combo this year, things went terribly wrong, and all exhaust valves ended...
No...longer (actually...it depends on the exact combo...some probably are shorter). Usually the piston is "shorter" from tops to bottom of skirt...
No biggie...figured I just got lost in the shuffle somewhere lol. Looking forward to getting one now though ;)
