This thread is asking if anyone using this cam has had the problems i have had.The shop is more or less blaming my choice of such a BIG cam and i want to see what others have to say

Bluebagger, my 2 cents is that something was not checked by your builder

Did the info on the cam card match what cam motion engraved on the butt of the cam?

I asked that in other thread. Said the shop “said they checked it”

Yeah I thought your other thread was started by someone else so I thought maybe two people had trouble with that cam.

You look at that damage without knowing any of the particulars of this thread and wonder if it was too long of a pushrod, incredibly stiff spring, incorrectly ground cam, or a shop that hasn't a clue and just wrenched the hell out of the rockers without regard to cam position.

But damn.

Bluebagger06 · 08-03-2019, 09:07 PM

wish i knew, i am about ready to drag the ****ing car out of there.all i know is those rockers dont match, suppose to have all new TSP rockers in there

Sorry to hear your still having issues. Can't imagine what it's like to spend the $$$ and have that set with no answers. Best of luck and look forward to hearing about it when you get it back on the road.
Again GL with everything hope it works out for you!
