Well after making just about every mistake in building my first engine…like starting it and shutting it off a few times, pulling it because of a noise etc, the cam survived the 20 min routine at 2k rpm ish
It was either the fuel pump rod, the pump itself, or the fact that the oil shaft was so tight I had to tap it out with some decent force
Anyway, went with Holley red pump and I was able to burnish the bushing that was already in the engine.
Does not sound as nice as it should, massive header leak on pass side and massive exhaust leak on drivers, hodge podged it together to work, car has 2.25 from 30 years ago so made some crude connections to the extension tubes that bolt to the tri y’s.
I have a new TTI full exhaust to go on, and a pair of venom 250 mufflers
Anyway, quick Vid of it down at idle before shutdown
