I think you chewed some lifters ... your cam is most likely toast.... That sucks...

Still going to be forever before it even runs. I'm tossing the idea of making it a real nice chasis now and doing a ladder bar setup and putting a real nice set up in it. Or just throwing some stock style stuff in and putting a carbed n/a ls1.

Damn that sucks man, No offense but thats what happens when a bunch of kids with not to much experience do cam installs..

Maybe I missed it but did you change the oil pump? I would say 99% you are going to need a rebuild.

what do u mean bunch of kids haha ****. i knew what i was doin we had 0 problems this had NOTHING to do with the cam install.....

update: i pulled both heads and the lifters are fine. and there was no signs of any damage, it had to be something in the bottom end. someone recommended it was a cam dowel pin but i doubt it. i have pics of everything as wel that i will post shortly

this is what worries me... this is cylinder number 5 and 7 they are equal as far as height....

and here is the lifters they are fine...

Sounds like a spun bearing, looks like you might have gone a couple teeth off on the timing chain.

Looks also like you had some valves contact the pistons on 5 and 7. I can't imaging valve float with those springs though...

could it possibly be the rod bolts stretching with such high rpm's on STOCK rod bolts/??

Instead of putting it back together pull the front cover off and pull the cam...Id bet the dowel is gone...with contact on 5 and 7....your gonna have to spend some money this time. Do NOT put stock lifters back in that thing with that cam. Pull your lifter trays out and check them for cracks.

Deerhunter-Z28

Yea, thats why I said he might have not ben "dot to dot" when he put the timing chain back on.

taht's like advancing/retarding the cam. you change where the power is going to be made alittle. but with such a donkey dicked cam you dont have any error room
