Well everyone, i havent been around in awhile, going to school and working, and when i have the time, playing with the oldsmobile. Most of you know i rebuilt the 350, and put a lot of time and effort into it, i finally got around to driving it, and it threw a cam bearing!!!! No joke. So im back to the drawing board. This time im getting stainless valves and flat top pistons though, it only had about 300 miles on it. I know i should search this out, but i wanted to let you all know what the story was, so in the process, where can i get the flat tops ? thanks a million

 

From the same guy who will repair your your cam bearing(s)/journal(s).

Well..... at least you didn't frag a whole motor like I did this month.
Stock 455s with 80k are just not meant to spin 5200 rpm I guess.
If I frag my other 455 too, I'm giving up on the BBO.

 

lol that will be me! but thankyou, i managed to find an ok deal, i think ill just rip it apart, fix the bearing situation, and put it back together, i made a thread about this, wondering what you guys thought about this toronado i found. check it out, let me know thanks! Ill use the 350 to get around, and build this 455 the right way if its worth it that is...

 

sorry to hear about that bud
