Man that sucks. If you decide to get rid of your underdrive pully when you go with the 6.0, let me know.

If you nicked one of the bearings during installation, it is highly possible it failed on you. Will the cam move in/out at all?

those are definately some words you should not be using in a cam installation or removal. Most likely you knocked the bearing loose from beating on it
