Even worse news......
Apparently the reason the exhaust cam was off was because the cam bolts broke thus not allowing the cam to turn properly. He said the only thing that even remotly kept the cam turning was the friction in the motor..
He also believes that I damaged some valves when this happened (and he doesn't recomend driving it like that)......so, there goes engine number two for my first season......
Now I just need to see if I can still borrow one to limp through the final 12-13 races.......
Yeah, I guess the only good news is that the motor is a really good candidate for rebuild......except of course it means I will need to buy new pistons as the ones in their are obviously stock....oh, and I need a pinned cam, which I am not sure is included in a rebuild or not (hopefully)......
We'll see what I can work out, all I know now is that I can't afford to get the whol emotor rebuilt just yet. But now that I have experienced racing for the first time....I just can't stop and wait for the money to come in. I need to get back out there.
I'll let you know what I figure out.....
Thanks for all your help!!!
