Broken cam, age???

[SHOWYA]

Driving then this happened.

Not sure what to make of it. These are the +40 regrinds. Been on the car for a good while. I’m going to go back to stock ones if after I pull the head everything looks good.

Still boosted? Maybe a combo of age and boost

 

[SHOWYA]

Yes, but not tuned yet. Been braking in the clutch because it was slipping on the dyno.

Ugh, that blows!

 

[SHOWYA]

Yup I’ll see what the damage is soon. Haven’t ripped into the engine in a while.

Sorry to see this but glad you're still running it around.

The only time I've seen that is from a timing belt too tight. Since yours also happened on the tight side of the belt, I would suspect the same thing there.

 

[SHOWYA]

I assumed the same thing ... fortunately I save the original camd

Is your engine non interference?

I have the +40 regrinds so I’m not sure what the damage is to the valves ... I will be pulling the heads to double check.

All of the V6 SHO motors are non -interference motors so you should be good internally unless something internally went wrong and caused the breakage. Looks like a clean break, replace the seal and cam and crank her back up! i know, if only it were that easy....good luck brother and may the damage be nill!

Not necessarily with the +40 cams. I think that will depend on the pistons used.

Still using stock pistons so maybe no damage

+40 cams with stock pistons is interference!

 

[Devin]

Yeah. Just didn't want to say it.

Anybody got any used 3.2 stock heads for sale?

You probably want the 3.0 heads to fit your motor. You are still using the 3.0 accessories, right?

I am. Can you explain your thoughts on 3.0 vs 3.2 heads please?
