    cam scaring??

    cam scaring??

    I can kind of feel them with my fingernail. I dont know if that makes a difference. I know that this head has been off of the car before. It had a metal H.G. when I took it off.

    cam scaring??

    I made a post recently about a burnt valve. Well low and behold ounce I removed the cams and bearing caps I found that they are scared. The head looks fine. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I tried searching with no results, but do I have any options with the head besides a PAPERWEIGHT?!?!

    7MGTE MK3 vs Small Block 400 MK3

    an old buddy of mine said when he built his 400 that he had to but some kind of holes in the head to help with cooling. i guess that is what he was talking about. it never over heated. that thing was a BMF. at idle it sounded like an airplane!
