So i am on the highway doing about 70 when all of a sudden the car just starts to cut out and then i kill it. I roll off the highway and get on a sideroad. I try to start it and it does nothing. So i rip everything apart and the cam is split just after the 2nd bearing, but wait there is no second bearing and that is what caused the cam to split. So i guess i save up over summer and buy a 347dss short block and go from there. Just thought i would share a story.
