Cam retainer plate broke Any one ever heard or seen this, only had five miles on motor, and motor is now junk
This is the older style plate with older style bolts not the countersunk ones

Too bad I have seen this before when either someone did not tighten the cam retainer bolts and they backed out and hit the timing gear or there was not enough clearance between the gear and the bolts.
Some aftermarket timing sets need to be checked for clearance.
