if you stated this previously, I'm sorry.

What are the specs on the cam? Its my new hobby to look at them and see what people try to do with them.

Bad news for the block. It's been at the machine shop since January and he's just now getting to it (was already aware he was pretty busy) and when cleaning it, a chunk of cylinder wall apparently crumbled. He thinks it was a casting defect from factory that just now surfaced. Luckily he wasn't too far into it and called for us to take a look at it. He said it would probably be ok, but it's too questionable for us and we took the spare block over to have that one checked out. One more set back.

I doubt it. It wasn't there when the block was disassembled.

So not much has been happening lately other than everything going horribly wrong. That seems the only way things can go with this car. The spare block checked out good though, the main caps are good and it magnafluxed ok. Still need it bored and all the other work done to it. I'm really hoping to get it back by the end of this month. Seems like I'm always put on the back burner for someone else's project. The k member was installed and it fits well. We went to install my BMR tubular control arms last Saturday and of course my shocks didn't fit. Gauges should get wired this weekend finally.
