I was a little pissed that the builder put in the wrong gear. Of course there is a possibility of some bearing damage. After many calls and an email he finally called me. He swore my engine had a steel gear and needed the bronze gear. Until I told him which camshaft it had. He admitted they let it get past them and it was there fault. He also said he thought I would be fine but he would stand behind the motor if I have a failure. I changed the oil again and dumped a couple quarts to flush out any debris.
While I was messing around changing the distributor gear and retiming the engine, I decided to fix a seap around the crancase ventilation fitting that started in the last 200 miles.

Gotta love a big block with the valve covers off with a set of dart pro 1 heads and comp rollers.

Hear is the fitting that dribbled. I used a dab of blue loctite on the threads.(Suck it the inside fell onto the rockers at 6k) and used some silcone on the washer. Should do it.

Timed her at 36 total and 18 degree intial and went for a 80 mile road test. Never run better! Car is ****** sick.
