Mike H You took all the lifters and pushrods out of he motor? You should be able to spin that cam over with your fingers. If everything is OK. Something doesn't sound good with this. Unless there is no
oil or prelube on the cam and bearings, that thing should spin easy, no wrench You might want to call back George and ask a pro. I would still like to know how you snap that pin with the cam bolt at spec for tork. The motor only spins in 1 direction and even with the play in the hole the worst it should have done is rotated in that direction and stay there. Hope you find the lifter. Rick Lake Ps Mike you might want to put the intake, it will take another 15 minutes and check that cam out good, I would pull it out to clear the cam bearings and re prelube it, just pour a little on all the surfaces. A paste brush works great, as long as the brissels are tight. Just a thought.
