Absolutely checked that... 3 times... especially after decking the heads to get 12:1. Also we use this cam all the time and the rockers were not the issue. I have a whole workbook full of measurements lolOriginally posted by 1BADAIR View PostCam cut for 1.7 rockers? Was ptv checked?

Sorry to hear Kolin. Looks like you're getting it figured out pretty quickly though. Your car still looks better on the back of a tow truck than most cars going down the road.sigpic

He's not really at liberty to say what caused it right now, but it was nothing that anyone would have ever anticipated. They checked everything multiple times and it basically boils down to one part that failed - even though everything was checked out before installation. Basically it's no fault of the people who built the engine, no fault of the tune, and no fault of Kolin's driving during break in.Originally posted by TylerT/AZ28 View Postany news on wat caused the cracking, valve bending rocker destroying catastrophe?- Brian Meissen

I'm betting on a bad batch of blinker fluid. It all comes from China now, and quality really has gone downhill...
Hope the rebuild is going as smoothly as it can for ya!
