Hey guys, thanks for all the replies.

quoted from my buddy:

"one of the lifter arms snapped and gouged the casing up. It was under warranty so they are ordering a new motor and going to put it in."

ONCE AGAIN,

CRAPPY "C" LIFTERS and TOO HEAVY/STRONG VALVE SPRINGS!!!!

AFTERMARKET LIFTERS (S&S, GMR, ETC) and AV&V BEEHAVIE SPRINGS are your friend.

Glad it worked out for your buddy.

glad to hear they are going to take care of it. good thing about the dc, va, md area is that there are a quite a few dealer locations so you can sometimes benefit from the competition.
how long is it going to take?
