Rex (jetmann) MAJOR THANKS!!!
#1
Saturday I'm doing a cam swap and discover that the number two cam bearing has spun, and is stuck onto the cam.
This is an "over my head situation" so I called Rex for help. He wanted to help right away, even offering to drive the 120 miles (one way) that night to see if the bearing(s) could be replaced, without having to remove and disassemble the motor.
I was tired and wanted to wait until Monday so Rex agreed to come down then. He arrived at the shop before I did (8 am). Proceeded to scope out the situation, parts in hand, installed the two front cam bearings, slid in the cam and reinstalled the timing set. I was able to finish up and get the motor running with no apparent problems that afternoon.
AWESOME performance Rex!
ps; thanks to Julian for the assist.
Don't know how to thank you.
