put my new cam in last night, started it this morning and had some weird noises but all guages were fine, so i went to bring it home and lost 10psi of oil pressure. i figured it was just the pick up o-ring so i stopped at my parents house which is like 2.5 miles from daves to see if maybe i had missed something when we reassembled everything. went to restart it and i got a mean *** back fire through the intake so i put it on jack stands and called the gm dealership for new gaskets and seals. took it apart a found that the cam timing was off by two degrees and now i have a broken valve (maybe more i havent taken the head off yet). stupid mistake on my part should have payed a little more attention. so if any one has some 241 heads or ls6 heads let me know.

 

That sucks.I'm guessing 2 teeth off? I'll call to see if the LS6 heads are still available.If not and your tight I might have old heads laying around at my house.

 

hey thanks alot hopefully i dont have to get a new short block too im close to broke

 

you better break something in work and tell them you need to stay late to fix it. get some extra loot.

 

That sucks man... Hopefully things will turn out alright for ya. Good luck!

Don~ He can use my p/p LS1s that are at your house if he wants.

 

Sorry to hear that bud I know you were stoked about getting it all set when we were talking. On the bright side though broken parts mean time for upgrades

Dieso: if you want i can see if i can drop that rear off tomorrow

 

blazin, yes please let me know if you can so i can arrange a pick up asap.

 

sorry to hear man i know you were excited about the cam

 

Awww man, that sucks, but hopefully you can get it back together before the summer is over!

 

if it's just a valve it's gonna be tit.

 

I got stock heads if you need em' or valves if you just need those.

 

FYI, if you bent a valve, i.e. kissed a piston, magnaflux the piston you can get the kit from Eastwood. I used and it works mint!
