Cam, that is...[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif[/img] Looks like I'm a victim of push rods that are too long. One lifter looks like a ski slope, afraid to check the others at this point. We didn't drive it but a few miles this time so I'm hoping nothing else is hurt. Oil pressure is still good.
Merry friggin' Christmas..[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif[/img]

I don't know what to say Doug.

Wished I lived closer I'd give you a hand.

This is crazy!

Doug, all I can say is good luck my friend.

Count me in as one of the guys that'd help out if I were closer.

Holy smokes! If you didn't have bad luck, you'd have no luck at all.

Did you go to an adjsutable valve train? Crane makes a bolt on kit for 429-460's that will allow adjustment.

Sounds to me like you are looking for a excuse to buy a roller cam.
