So, what's the plan now? I thought you had another engine waiting in the wings for that car, or is this yet another project? Regardless - just pull the head if you are going to get that engine running again. On Dec 31, 2007 8:11 AM, Kaleb C. Striplin, work [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: h -- OK

The 602 engine doesn't have those nice cam stands, the cam is bolted down to the head with fairly solid cam bearing blocks instead. If the cam broke, I'd quite certain that the valve that did the job is well and truely bent, and the guide is also probably shot. Peter
