Hello,

I recently changed the head gaskets, cam, lifters, timing chain, valve springs. I had the heads checked by a machine shop when the installed the valves and its not a pulley.

Sometimes I would here a very loud squel and the car would die, but I can start it again.

I really need help. I am not sure if this would be a rod bearing or a cam bearing. This is not a usualy bent pushrod ticking LS1.

I am runnign hardened pushrods, LS7 lifter, a cam from thunder racing and comp 918s with 1 hour of running time so far.

I could drive it, I do not want to wipe out a 400 dollar cam.

Now, if the car is idling and I hear a louder squel, the car will immediately die and I can turn it over by hand but the starter motor is able to break it loose (oddly).

Would that be a cam bearing?
