don't have the money to put a cam in and its my daily driver. my friend gave me his stock cam so it didn't cost me. Well first i thought it was my timing chain. Then when i finnaly got the timing cover off. The bolts that hold on the Cam Gear. There was only one bolt holding it on when there is supposed to be 3. The other two broke in half in to the cam and the heads fell off into the oil pan. Hope its just the cam i need to replace.
Plus i want to see how fast i can get my car with just boltons, slicks,spary, tranny and 12 bolt. Thanks Calvin

I would have to think something else was wrong for the cam bolts to break, just spinning an engine faster shouldn't break the bolts. You would have to be spinning fast enough to break other parts like the rods before cam bolts would fail.
Something to the effect that either the bolts were loose and they sheared or maybe over tightened to the point they failed.

If you bought a one of the piggyback pulleys for the crank, you have to put the damper back on the underdrive. If you are driving around without it, then you are beating the bearings out of the motor.
just pull the cam and intake off to inspect everything in its path. I don't know why you wouldn't spend an extra $200 to put a slightly better cam in the car. However, if the bolts did break as the others stated in this thread something else may have caused it...I spin my Lt1 to 7000 RPM and no problems like that ever.
