Cam support plate - whats the next step?
Yes, I installed new cams in mid December. Took it out for a few test drives and was very pleased overall. No problems, sounded awesome. Last test drive, however, took it on the highway. Once merged and cruising at 70 with traffic the oil pressure light went red. No shoulder for 2 miles and traffic hauling booty behind me. Anyways, motor pretty much seized on the off ramp.
Now I'm started my exploratory surgery and I'm not finding anything wrong. Only strange thing so far is the cam support plate seemed to be stuck and gave a really hard time coming out this time. Nothing melted, nothing is bent as far I see. I thought the no oil pressure was due to a failed O ring but all three were still there and looked new. Yes those will be replaced anyhow but my concern is what is causing the cam plate to get stuck on the crank? It finally came out after prying it with a hammer and breaker bar on the other side.
