what'd ya do that for!?
do what?needed to remove the vvt cam and put in another.........damm cam bearing were fu*ked
damn, that sux, see if the machine shop thinks it's ok to install new ones and see how the cam spins. i had a tight spinning cam one time, risked it and installed it anyway, been running since.
yea i dont know my situation sucks....i have a 30 day warranty from the salvage yard i got it from.gonna call em in the a.m..just dont know if hes gonna like the fact that i opened it up....cant believe this it only has 27 k miles was super clean and was a killer deal for $1,200 shipped........
I was being sarcastic...ya that sucks. Had that happen on an older SBC, kinda ruins your day. Better you caught it now then later though.
its alrite,im gonna try and get a refund and look around
where did you get it from?
still think it had 27k on it?
same situation here man. Got a motor. did a cam swap and installed it. Rod bearings were trashed. now my daily driver has no motor. so i had to settle and buy a 5.3 and have to swap it all again
