Look at this way Chris, you're keeping miles off of the Mach and enjoying the A/C the Shelby has.

All kidding a side, you doing a complete rebuild again or just fixing what is damaged?

Whatever it needs ..It was running **** good until the Cam Bearing issue...

So how many beers is this going to take ?

bris09 · 07-29-2011, 05:52 PM

Think the cam issue was caused by the oil leak?

Genghis Mach · 07-29-2011, 07:07 PM

Make it nice I do love that car.

old school · 07-29-2011, 08:19 PM

The likely culprit was the oil pressure relief valve when it stuck 3 years ago & **** out all the oil on the way work & set up a Cam Bearing for failure...Looks to be about 120 Beer project with some Bayer Asprin thrown in for good measure...& yeah,Itll be done right & back at Carlisle next year!

Reminds me...My old 69 Mustang 390 FE had block oiling issues too. I sent it to Holman and Moody engine builders and they fixed it.
