Re: worn cam, clatter
Yes, both lobes are worn. If I had taken a photo with more of a 'side view' of the lobe the change in shape would be more obvious. The other cam lobes appear good. How would I check for adequate oil supply to the cam? I assume it comes up via the oil passages that have the O-ring & roll pin betw...

worn cam, clatter
I have a clattery noise in our GTV6. I could best describe it as sounding like the baseball card we used to put in the spokes of our bicycle when we were kids (back when the dinosaurs still roamed the earth...). It is present at any engine speed or throttle postion/load & varies in speed directl...

Road Trip with new GTV6
I have recently put a deposit on an '81 GTV6. The car is in Houston, TX & I am in NC so a road trip is planned for July 10th & 11th. We also have an '84 Spider that I resurrected after it had sat unused for a year or two. In addition to the Spider, the GTV6 will share garage space with my 19...
