how do you identify shricks

[abatzis2@hotmail.com (Michael Abatzis)]

i broke it clean in half (well, in 2 pieces anyway) while installing it. 
weirdest thing. tightening per bentley, caps weren't even torqued much 
before i noticed cam alignment was off. when i loosened bearing caps, 
noticed the cam was in pieces. pissed me off. i can't find a number for 
schrick usa, but i'm looking and will let you know what they say.
