Damn!!!!!

I thought that was for those old ford side oiler's :jest:

Damnnnnnnnnnnnn

You sure you wasnt using that to crowbar something?

:jest:

Hey, On the plus side it looks like it was mandrel bent :chug:

good god

thats not too bad... I had one kinda like that, but completly broken. All the other 15 were pretty bent too.

Looks like a hurst billet plus stick now!
I am guessing that when you discovered this it was really no suprise that it happened? :)

i take it the car run like crap and ticked?

so, :cry: how did it happen? :bang:


fuerzaws6 :drive:

:stupid:

How the hell did you get it out.

YEY - spaghetti pushrods !!!

Seriously, how did you get it out. Pushrods holes are not that wide....
I assume those were stock pushrods...did you over rev it, or something ?

i really don't see how thats possible. I bent one, but not near as bad, it just had a good lean in it a lil over half way up

no comment :)

it came right out

the car would hesitate from like 4k-redline and i would get a real bad tapping. never gave it WOT after I started hearing the tapping. i stopped driving it after i heard it

another 500 miles and it would have snapped... You can see where it was rubbing the head something awful. That spot would have been where it snapped. Like he said, it pulled right out. Nobody believed me, they thought I bent it after I pulled it out...

That's what happen when you over-rev a 3" cam. :lol:
