They aren't expensive. I think I would pull the head. Remove the foreign object, go back together and drive the pi$$ out of it.

Fixed that for ya......

I'm still under $1000 and on the 3rd motor. It's mine so time I'll just never get back

So, what's the prognosis, doctor? Was it a kidney stone lodged in the piston?

There's a lot I could have done instead of what I did but I did what seemed right at the time. If it didn't eat a cam and lifters I'd be blasting right now. Who knew hindsight is always 20/20 and if it was easy everybody would do it. I'm not giving up yet just having a hard time getting there. I'm going to go do something now that I really don't want to but it may be necessary. The most evil place in the auto body industry and there's one near all of us there's one around the corner and I'm going to talk to them..... It begins with an M

I agree with all that. Sometimes you gotta do whay time, and resources, allow. Ive been there with other thinhs myself and its easy to say "just drop a couple grand and be done" but, like i said abovr, its easy to spend someone elses money for them. Hard part is for them to have or find that money you want them to use. (In my case, it usually doesnt exist lol)

Keep plugging away and its gonna work in the end. Worst case scenario, have you kept an eye out online or dropped a call to local scrappers about an old motorhome they don't wanna deal with?

Meantime, good luck with the Master Alcoholic Annonymous Creating Organization. I've heard once in a blue moon they're ok, even if they push employees hard for quantity not quality.

Well there's definitely irons in the fire I got contacted today by people I don't even know. Now I'm sweating getting the truck going tomorrow because if I can't deliver myself I can't deliver the goods lol
