well the way the rock arms work there are 3 for the intake and 2 for the exhaust.

The middle one of the three for the intake is really just a lost motion/tranfer piece... not a full arm... well the one on the number 3 cylinder was upsidedown when I went to put it together and somehow I just didn't notice...

It was lining up funny but then seated ok so I started the torque sequence... and when I was just about finished all of a sudden the whole thing shifted and I heard a crack...

Took it apart again lifted off the rocker arm assembley and the cam was snapped in 3 pieces...

I'm still so pissed...

I'm going to get another cam and take the oportunity to get some stuff done though... I took off the header and painted it now I'm gunna pull the head again and maybe get new valve guides and a 3 or 5 angle valve job. maybe some porting. My buddy used to work with this guy who builds engines so It would prob. be decently cheap...

Also I'm gunna swap the intake manifolds (I have a y8 that I cleaned up a while back), make a proper O2 wire extension, straighten out the exhaust, do the hood latch cable just a bunch of misc. stuff...

Hopefully I'll have time during the week to head up there at night and get little projects done.
