Default Rex (jetmann) MAJOR THANKS!!!

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.

I'm glad you to hear you got it running again Steve...now get that... (not sure if it's public knowledge yet) installed and running!! I'm scared at the thought of you putting out as much rwhp as me in that sweet ride!

Hey Rex, next time you wanna call me at 5am make sure I didn't spend the previous night drunk at a Harry Potter movie...yes I did see it and Hermione is HooooOOOOTTTTttttt!!!!

No secrets here. I do want to have some results to report before I blab all over the forums. There have been plenty of other write ups on the install process so I won't be posting on that. I'm taking my time on this one. Definitely not a one weekend project! But I might get done quicker than Grippy.
