Well after much issue and fan fare. It looks like the Coronet 440 issue was a cam bearing. Second bearing decided it didn't like my 440 much and started to walk out. Of course the lifters felt bad about such a disgrace and proceeded to bite the cam. Well my XE268 cam is a sturdy dude and it decided to bite back. Well it won!

2 particulary bitey lifters

If you look in the background you will see the whore of a cam bearing which was sized to small to fit properly.


Anyway, said XE 268 cam bite hard, but lifters bite back and the long and short of it, results in a rather bumpy paperweight

Well new cam bearings, no need to have line bored. The rest of it looks good. So.... it looks like I pulled the bull by the tail and walked away. (hopefully....time will of course tell)


Well after much fan fear and a lot of pennies this is the result

well that is it

LOL That is because the Coronet was impatient and wanted to leave!
