The thing is when we thought a pushrod had bent there was no piston damage and after the whole cam job everything was fine and dandy for damn enar 3 weeks. Im still not saying what it was or wasnt. I still cant figyre out if it was some small piston damage then why the cam,rods,and springs take care of at least the noise(there was never a driveablitly probelm untill the night it did go). I guess Ill never know! Im reall happy with this motor. Im still amazed at the all around better driveability. The TQ is knew was there! If I could get it to the pavement now! Thanks for the feedback!
