Then you really need to read and comprehend what is written in the link Snoopy posted and watch the YouTube videos that are linked of the thread. You also need to study the build quote versus the final Invoices then do the math to see how much discrepancies there are between the two.
Well I don't know how not to take it personally. Why? Because I've plain stated numerous times that I never hit the rev limiter. I plainly described much earlier in the thread that the engine was at roughly 5000RPM when it failed. Your self control and mine are different. I was 2 weeks out from major back surgery and in the recovery stage when I drove the car and the engine failed. I wasn't trying to be the fastest at anything. If you look at the photos of the primary cam sprocket..........it is obvious that the clamp load of the cam bolt wasn't tight. Why is the inside bore of the sprocket scored, yet the face of the sprocket where the washer from the cam bolt exerts the clamp load to hold the sprocket to the camshaft isn't? Look at the link to the chart I posted from ARP. If the cam bolt had been torqued properly then the clamp load on the face of the primary sprocket that failed would have been 12,000 or higher pounds. How come the front or rear faces of the sprocket aren't scored? What is your explanation for this phenomenon?
Sorry to hear that... But dibs on pulleys.
