Anyway i cant understand how the pistons get stuck since the pistons & pins must have been splashed with oil from the crank.
I mean would this have happend anyway even if the cam didn't give up ?
BTW. One more thing i noticed when looking closer on the comp-cams online catalog.
It says that i must do machine work on my cyl-heads when using the 924-16 springs.
What kind of machinework would that require ?
Another thing i just noticed was that i have used 928-16 springs instead of the 924-16 that compcams recomend...humm i guess that does not help the cam to much.
i saw that the 924-16 has a 1.200" coil bind and 315lbs open load
while the 928-16 springs have 1.160" coil bind and 371lbs open load.
MAJOR DOUH !
I knew i should have stayed in the sandbox and built sandcastles instead of growing up and trying to build engines

Sorry for your misfortune!! Yes, It�s looking like the cam wiped out because of spring bind. Don�t feel bad, it is a common problem if the valve train is not very carefully checked and matched up with the cam lift. Didn�t the oil turn black within a short time during the startup and run in?
