Mike: Yepp i hope that Comp-cams have put the right parts in the boxes since everything was ordered new from comp-cams own list of matching parts.

Can someone please explain how the piston-pins could get stuck in the pistons i can hardly turn the piston on the rods.If something has been grinding it should be more loose not tighter ?!

Anyway here's som pictures of the mess (not for the faint of heart) http://www.soulcollector.se/Nemesis/jpg/panterastuff/wreck/lifter01.jpg http://www.soulcollector.se/Nemesis/jpg/panterastuff/wreck/lifter02.jpg http://www.soulcollector.se/Nemesis/jpg/panterastuff/wreck/lifter03.jpg http://www.soulcollector.se/Nemesis/jpg/panterastuff/wreck/cam&lifters-cyl-3&7.jpg http://www.soulcollector.se/Nemesis/jpg/panterastuff/wreck/cam&lifters-cyl-4&8.jpg

Note that that the lifters and cam lobes on cylinder 4 & 8 have survived and they are as far from the oilpump as anything in the engine could be... hard to explain by poor oilpressure then. Also note that the only lifter that returns to the top again without oilpressure is the one that has been grinded all the way thru. all the others are welded stuck.
