Fresh engine, wiped cam? Tick? (new pics added)

I think I would send it back to lunati, after talking to them, of course.

They may hook you up. It's part of a huge Corp. now.
Tell them your sad story, they might do it for shipping!
Ask them if these are the best lifters for your app or if they reccomend another and tell them you'll buy another set. Ya might get lucky. Be real nice and tell them clearly without gettin off subject. You could write it down like you are going to a meeting, because you are.
They like word of mouth so hooking you up is like cheap advertising....tell them you talked to us all about it. It's worth a shot.

and send them your pics, too
