Remember how my car stopped running back in the fall? Well.....

Fix what exactly? At that point nothing was on the block...cam was the last thing to come out before i took the bottom end out. The wrong pin was used and the damage was done. Fixing it requires fixing the cylinder heads.

And i didnt notice it right away as when i took the timing chain off the dowl pin came off too...and i went along with my business of taking the cam out. Then i thought about it and went back out and checked it when u guys kept saying the timing chain was at fault. And then i saw that the pin wasnt in the cam. I can only assume i used the wrong pin, a shorter one, when putting it together. Dumb mistake but hey, the world will keep turning.
