Default carefull when assembling an engine

when my brother touches a car something
always breaks...

so if you are not a pro make sure you follow a guidebook, pay attention
and most important make sure it fits and dont over torque.....



thank god I have a lot of b series parts laying around.....

actually, my friend's did break and crower offered to replace them too. i believe their new cams are more durable, but that's just off of heresay. never ran any aftermarket cams myself yet. hopefully that'll change by end of summer.

actually i really don't know what else they replaced. all i know is one of his cam broke in half and crower sent him a new one. i dunno if he replaced anything else. im sure he did compensate for any other damages that might have occured that he didnt tell me.

19ft/lb's of torque should never break a set of cams. Never let him work on your car again...
