wiped out no. 3 intake lobe on the cam ( something seems to have happened to the Schubeck lifter... VERY low in the lifter bore )
I've been building engines for myself and many other people, for 31 years. NEVER lost a cam.
If there was going to be a first time, it WOULD be with THIS car !
Camshaft ?
I have another, same profile, 110 centreline separation instead of 108.
No problem
Schubeck lifters ?
well...
see you next year !
Thank YOU, Novaman and Rory...
Certainly looks like THAT's where a career stick-shift driver should be !

Aubrey,
Skip the Shubecks, and the wait. Go get a set of DLC coated tool steel lifters from PPPC or Performance Research.
If it did break the Shubeck, I hope it didn't kill the rest of the engine. The debris from those things is horrendous.
