Well, we pulled the cam to find one lobe destroyed. Cam bearings worn to the copper all the way around.
The lifters looked.....ok. There was no obvious dead ones though, so I'd have to say the cam was soft.
We advised him to go through the shortblock before bolting on all his new fancy parts. Better safe than sorry.

So to recap, this engine had a broken valvespring, wiped lobe and bad cam bearings? Was the wiped lobe the same one that had the broken spring?
Where in the hell did you score a stroker crank for 250.00? I need you to start buying my parts from now on lol...
Sorry to hear about your luck Joe....![Sad](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_sad.gif)

On the LS1 in the car, The wiped lobe was not the one that also had a broken valve spring.
The front cam bearing is worn to copper all the way around. We couldn't see the rest.
The L92 had flycuts in the pistons. I know nothing about the L92....was that stock?
So Joe,
Which engine are you going to use? Your post is a bit confusing.

I believe the L92 comes with valve reliefs where the LS3 does not. Just small differences that GM does. The LS3 and L92 heads are pretty much the same as well, but the LS3 uses a hollow stem valve for light weight/higher rpms.
