Re: Why did I wipe out a cam lobe?
Just an update:
We disassembled the short block yesterday and found a considerable amount of debris in the oil pump pick up screen. One main bearing looked like something may have gone through it and scratched the bearing. This was a journal very close to the lobe wipe out. No marks on the crank. The rest of the engine was in absolutely great condition. The oil pump is in the shop along with all the piston rod assemblies for clean up and closer examination. The block and crank will go in later. The heads are already there and were also reported to be in excellent condition, although I am going to put new springs in and they said they will "freshen the heads up". Now the guys in the engine shop are tell me to quit fooling around and put a roller cam in the thing. I'm thinking about it!
