Another hyd roller bites the dust
Butt its been a great engine for 16 years and over 40k miles. Built in 2008 with the 274ex flat hyd and upgraded to hyd roller OF cam in 2012. Plenty of dragstrip runs, i can't complain.
It started making an unfamiliar noise, valve train frequency except not a hammering like a colapsed lifter, rather a scuffing/sqweeky noise. Removed the belts and looked for vacuum leaks to no avail. Put a tube in my ear and couldn't pin it down to one side or the other so figured its time to look at the cam. I kinda felt i was on borrowed time. Jon

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
