Well, it takes me forever to get anything accomplished and I recently lost anyplace to leave a car while I work on it so I had the monster cam swapped to a smaller grind from Summit. Runs great EXCEPT for what they found. Whoever put that cam in tried to set it up like a SOLID Lifter cam. It's a Hydro! No punched out pistons, THANK GOD, but they totally screwed up the Valve Stems, bent the rockers and loosened every single one of the rocker studs. The Heads are gonna have to come off. MAYBE when I save enough to get new heads, Thank God for Summit, I can finally get her back on the road. I''ll still have ended up spending less than a new crate engine but it's not gonna be by much. At least then I'll be at the point of getting onto the other little issues that need to be addressed. :blam:
Oh yea, EVERYTHING else on the engine was STOCK! I have no idea what the plan was for this engine but dag gone. I know it wouldn't have lasted cause it dang sure hasn't for me and I was using it as a Daily Driver.
