This is the latest in a series of calls for help after I broke my cam.
The concensus of the group was that I should pull the head and get it worked on
(unless I liked braking cams). Good advice and the possibility of some Rebello
Racing head work made it more inviting.
So the head is off and I've done a visual inspection of the head, valves, and
pistons. The valves look like they took a hit when the cam broke and there's a
small indent on the top of one of the pistons. I've paranoid enough that I'm
going get someone to pull the valve springs and look a the valves and valve
guides.
The question is what else I should look for and whether I should pull the
pistons too. I cleaned the top of the pistons best I could around the area of
the valve divit and didn't see any cracking. Ideas? Suggestions?
Should I just rebuild the whole engine and start from scratch, or is it
unnecessary?
What else should I look for.
