I can give you a stock cam and a set of lifters to get you by if you want. Man, that sucks

Damn dude, youre looks a lot worse than mine does. Im sorry for your bad luck. FWIW, autozone carries lt1 lifters - which im told would fit - for like fourteen bucks. Hope Im not breaking the non-sponsor rules... but if youre like me and need to get to work on monday, its an idea.

Although that sucks Will, the "Where's Waldo" for mechanics thing was pretty funny . Good luck, hope you can get everything worked out.

I think you should just throw a stock cam and lifters in there for the time being. At least to get you running again.

Yeh I figured at this point all a guy can do is try and pretend like it's funny and it doesn't bother him...

I'd **** Waldo up if he did that to my cam. Seriously...

Sorry to hear that man. Hopefully you'll be up and running with a better setup soon enough!

It's not so bad. I yanked mine a few weeks ago for almost the same reason. Got the tap but not the twist.

what are you planning for new lifters?

i got a motor in my shop that did the same thing. althougjt the lifter did not turn and falk stuff up that bad. i was lucky and had a little stock 4.8 sitting on the shelf.

what causes these cams to do this. my valve train was always loud and then all a sudden one day low oil pressure.

What cam and springs were you running when this happened?
How many miles on the lifters?
Does anyone have any idea what is the cause?

Holy **** Will that looks bad.
