head-ache

[foxxinabox at wideopenwest.com (Foxx (in a box))]

   in the process of removing the stock camshaft from my '85 i heard a 
snap. thinking it was just a stud relieving tension i didn't pay any 
attention to it. i replaced the stock cam with the g-grind that i had 
and loosely tightened it down. as i was unsure of what car the g-grind 
came out of i turned it a few times to make sure it hit all the lifters 
properly. damn thing snapped in two between the second and third lobes. 
to top it off, the upper cam bearing piece, second from the end, decided 
it didn't want to come off easily. i managed to work it off only to find 
that the oil journal leading up to it had cracked on both sides all the 
way to the base. said a few choice words, grabbed the head that i had 
stored in to have the valve job done and found out today that it's too 
warped to do anything with. that leaves me with one other head that i 
can use. such a pain in the ass.
