O WOW!! sorry to see that man! hope everything turns out ok! i hope its as easy as just changing the cam and lifters man!

Ouch is right. I have a roller cam, going to see what lifters they used in it now.

Because of the metal in the block, the motor will need to be pulled and gone through

These were pretty high end lifters from Morel for my application but hopefully it was a fluke deal and I have the only Morel Lifter bar failure known to man due to natural, mechanical causes.

Anyway, back to your normally scheduled programming!

Oh crap Eric!!!!! :eek:
Did this happen right after I saw you on Saturday?

Best I can guess, it happened Sunday morning on the way out to Alpharetta for the C&O Cruise-in. Heard some ticking when I got off the interstate just before getting to the cruise-in but nothing too bad. Drove it home and it made a few interesting noises and the ticking eventually stopped. Was checking it out Sunday afternoon and noticed the timing had jumped from 18 to 26 initial (Had a full take of 100 octane so it didn't seem to ping/detonate on the cruise.) I knew the car was running bad if you tried to accelerate but was attributing it to an ignition problem. Anyway, pulled the valve cover and realized the rocker was not moving so off came the intake.

yeah i know i was just saying i hope you can pull the motor drop the pan its right there and its easy to fix and clean

Oh man Eric, sorry to hear about your issues.

I was logging in here to say that I took mine out to a friend of mine who live about 40 miles away, out in the country. First real expressway ride, and ride with grumpy, since getting her back on Friday. She shifts awesome now.

Today I moved the Chevelle over in the garage for storage for the winter. Hated to put it away but it's time.
