Well the camaro is broke so i have no choice but to fix this. I pulled the old cam last nite and it had only one trashed lobe. I ordered a summit cam and lifter kit for 90 bux, so if it burns it up, i really wont care. Then the truck gets scrapped and i rush to fix the camaro. This is alot cheaper to try first though. I also pulled the pan and didnt find any debris really. It looks as though the lifter basically cooked to the cam.

Question about roller tip rockers on stock valves. I see on a few of the valve tips that the rocker kinda wore it too much. Theres no real centered wear pattern on them. I have to get a pushrod length checkermagecker and see whats up. It has comp hi-energy stock length pushrods and i think they are too long. Should roller tips be used on stock valves? Should i get lash caps?
