jason, yeah, the cam is perfect!! there is single little bur on the very edge of the lobe, but its far enough out that the roller doest touch it. Im going to sand it down flush and she is good to go. A rod bolt brokeon the cylinder first, then the next WOT burst she let go. There was no metal near teh lifters or cam. It all stayed in the bottom end.

Damn! what is it with these LS engines and blowing to hell? It seems all I hear anymore is people blowing these engines. Makes me scared to even drive my cars for fear they will explode. I've been around LT1s for years and very seldom see **** like this.

Its all about your exposure. They usually aren't your stock engine cars that are doing it.
