Time for a new Cam I think....

[HRSEPLA]

I had a noise in my Turbo Notchback last fall and finally found the way to my toolbox today...
Time for a cam and a freshen up :)

DOH! At least you got to it before it lunched your entire engine... Hope everything else in there is OK...

[70 cutlass 442]

ehh, hopefully there isnt to much of that lobe floating in your enigine someplace else

[Prince Valiant]

OUCH! Are you going to tear down the whole engine to make sure crap didn't get through? Cut your oil filter open to see how much gunk is in it?

Never known anyone to wipe a roller before...good job! :(

[Windsors 03 Cobra]

Aww shucks I hate when that happens !

[HRSEPLA]

Yes, I am definately going to go through the whole motor, it has 4 hard years on it and could use a freshening! Everything else looks OK, I heard the noise right away after a run and stopped running it.

[WickedSix]

at least you could get it out the lifter bore :thumbsup it coulda been sooo soooo much worse

[juicedimpss]

i think you might need some bearings.
lol
glad to see you are workin on it finally

[FourEyedFord]

D@mn! It could have been a lot worse though.
Weren't you going to swap the cam anyways? Maybe its a sign. :D:shades

Nice work Sam. :) You need to hang that on the wall as a trophy.

[DoubleAron]

:wooo Good thing is wasn't any worse.

BTW you do know it is the middle of April and we just had 6 months of down time. What the heck have you been doing all winter?:D

[nismodave]

Yeeeeeouch!!!

Glad you caught it before it got worse.

[Moparjim]

Nasty. I would definitely cut open the filter, drop the pan, clean out anything you can. That's a lot of metal that went somewhere...

[sloLs1]

ouch!!! i hope you get it all back together and going this year!

[Reverend Cooper]

that should have made it idle better

[BOSS LX]

Wowzers!

I think that lobe had around 300 lift.

[Corvette Jabo]

I lost a lobe on the 69 Vette when I rebuilt the engine after 30 miles on a fresh rebuild. I pulled the engine back out and tore it down. I took the engine in and had the cam bearings removed and then hot tanked to remove all the metal from the oil passages.

Ha! I may still be on the road before some of you:shades
I just was'nt in a hurry... I have the battle backups:)

[GRNDNL]

Can't you just get a half round roller for that lifter?.......

[Syclone0044]

Wowzers.. nice photo of the damage!

[SmokinRAM114]

[Larrygto]
