Im trying to find out why my brand new, freshly assembled and built 6 bolt exploded one single valve on the first 30 seconds of idle.
Brian crower 272's (brand new) are the only add on to the head right now.
I was using a cometic MLS, the head is definetly nowhere near "service limit" in terms of overall height, the valvetrain was stock but the head is a new remanufactured unit. Piston to valve clearances were fine.
After idling for a minute it died, and i found this:
Timing was dead on. Motor started up very first crank, then this happened.
I guess i really dont know what would cause this valve to snap at idle after 30 seconds. Everything on the car was brand new?
How can i tell/find out if the BC 272 cams caused this?
