Default Question bout Cam install/lifter

Ok well i got the stock cam out, and got my S2 in the car (was much easier than i thought it would be.) however one pushrod feels different and makes noise when i spin the cam, also it wont lock back up in the cam tray. however the rod doesnt push further into the head than the rest of them, soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... in everyones professional estimation ( ) am i ok to continue reassembly? or should i pull the head?



i was planning on installing my l92 heads but i couldnt get a blank that i can use to flycut the pistons with and im sick and tired of waiting i want my GTO back god dammit


ne way, any input would be greatly appreciated

The new cam is in, out? Where is the magnet tip? Can you pull out the lifter trays and find it. Where is the tip??
