My 272 HKS intake cam is destroyed, as well as the head. I called the machine shop, and as I thought, you just can't fix this kind of stuff. It's got to be replaced.

After getting the work done to the car that caused me to miss vickary day, I started it up and it crapped out and refused to start again after about a minute of idling. The intake cam was pretty much frozen in place.

I'll get picks pretty soon (Saturday) to show the extent of the damage. For now, just imagine what would happen if the cam was turning like a metal lathe inside the carrier channel. Pretty bad, but interesting to see if you like to see shit torn up. Kind of funny how hard I've driven the car lately, and the entire time, the cam was getting nastier and nastier.

After all the talk about having no real problems with the car, I really can't complain. This is one small problem compared to what others (such as Marcus) have gone through. The thing that gets me is that I can't recall doing anything wrong when I did the cam install and the oil pressure has been fine ever since. I even called to make sure that de-tuner and jr. were in another zip code the entire time so they couldn't contaminate the process.

That sucks. I've got a couple spare 1g heads laying around with bad valves in them. Perfect for some oversized valves, or even just a core. $50.

oh damn, I'm all over that. We need to meet up to exchange those oil filter brackets anyways. You going to be at sloponys on saturday?

Yep, I'll be there. I have a couple things for Nate, too... unless he's found them somewhere else by now.

I have the window switch. But I might still be interested in the shifter.

Sorry to hear about your head Kris. But that's what happens when you dip your balls in it.

I'll bring the shifter with me then... and could one of you two bring your logger?

Yep.

This is jr bieotch, and you never called me ya dick. Plus i was busy detuning my own car so you know it was not my fault but you can blame it on me or on the rain milly vanilly.
