Not saying that's not it but if so I'd say it's as embarrassing as it gets.

I would hate to think the 3 or 4 engines that have pics posted here from single bolt comp cam equipped failures were because comp made the pin .100" to long. And if that is the case, I sure hope they step up to help you guys out.
