    Most likely not. Theyre gonna point the finger at aftermarket cam, and nothing will ever come of it.

    This time around, take the new head and new cam to a more reputible machine shop that has more experience with import stuff and have them check the clearances of the head and cam 100%. Not just put it together and spin it and see what happens. When shit like that is happening, theres no real "fixing" it. Except to maybe line bore the cam journals. Adn that would have been mucho monies.

I know of another local person that has had problems with a sohc bisi cam. It was just one of those freak accidents, trust me i know all about them. But as far as the shop who built it, everything is always done by the book and experience. Not taking sides of anyone but just giving my opinion.
    Like I said, stand up guys. They're cool in my book

    Hey Les, dont let it get you down homie. Just look at it as a chance to start fresh even though it is a small set back. Just find a new and/or a better brand cam and go from there. Need to get that worked out that way I can figure out what way to go beings our builds are so similar. LOL. I would blame machine shop for problem but good luck getting anything from them.

    i'm sorry but i would go back to the last person to have the caps off. i don't know the shop or you but if the cam had clearance issues, trash, whatever then it should have got caught between the two. mainly the last to have it apart. if it was locking up not running then it should have came apart right then and found the problem. just my

    You know what is really crazy? We had a 97 Civic with 166725 miles on the odometer, driven by a 52 year old man break down in the middle of Gray Highway in front ot the shop just last week. We thought it just had a broken timing belt, but we pulled the cover off and the cam pulley was lose and spun out. Pulled the rocker arms off and the cam was locked down. The engine was clean on the inside and the oil was not low. We ended up putting another head on it. As far as "trash", it sounds like you saw the aluminum that would have transferred to the cam upon lock up as there is some metal transfer.

    Was the rocker arm holder the one that came with the head? Just wondering as they are machined together when the factory produces them.

    If you supplied the parts, the shops not going to be responsible. I would say def. give the machine shop a call and tell them what happened and see how that goes. But crazy stuff does happen even with the "best" of shops. I sent a friend to a shop that is a sponsor on IA to have some work done because I had no time to do it .It turned into the worst experience ever and the work was TERRIBLE.

    Well first off did you drive the piss out of the car as soon as you got it back w/the motor still being cold? If you did this then it may have been your fault.
