Hey fellas, I got my car at the mechanics shop to get my car running good. It was making a popping noise after replacing my old 292/512 cam w/ a Comp 286/488 cam. We tried hot lashing the valves 3 times w/ no success. We decided it was a bad cam lobe and that I hadn't broken the cam in properly.
Now we can't get the cam out...5 mechanics tried to get it out w/ the engine still in the car. I'm guessing we'll have to pull the motor and beat it out from the back. My question is how could this have happened and what size cam bearings do I need once and if I get that cam out in one piece?? I believe my block (400 chev) has been align honed. Will any SBC cam bearings do? I've never replaced them before...Anyone
