Since you love torque, you should just go electric.

What does the cams lobes look like? I'm sure the rockers will receive a little wear, but I'm not sure if that is above the normal or not. Someone with more rep should be able to answer.

I asked this question in Strats thread as well, Id like to know if your running the mazworx crank or the ebay one. Might have been an issue with the cranks causing bearing failures, either out of round on the journal or improper oil clearances.

i think all those cranks are made in china or something.

when i was thinkin of going big i was going to stay 2.3, even before this an before strat's thread it just seemed like changing the crank was a bad idea.

i would seriously like to see guys start to do more 2.3 setups and see how they do because the 2.4's seem to be a nightmare, especially for .1 more displacement.

slight wear is all. these same cams have over 40k miles.
i'll do up some corresponding pix of the cam lobes later.
i don't think the cranks have anything to do with 2.4 failures.
imho, its the hg not doing its job.
bolo for a 2.4 hc short block soon
