Well i just finished my road race turbo build and was doing some engine break in. Well on my way back to my apt i was sitting at the stop light ...turned green so i proceed like normal to go and i hear a click and my car turns off i try to start it and got nothing. Upon poping my hood i find the cam gear no where it should be. What the hell would cause this:





yes thats part of my compcams 95300 still in there.

it was rubber from a previous timing belt setup...gates racing thats a different story

rocker arm assembly was torqued per helms manual camshaft bolt was hand tightened with my ~7inch long 12mm wrench
timingbelt tension was set per helms manual:3 theeth rotation then tighten tensioner

i have yet to do any further inspection on the head to see the story

i have had this camshaft for 2 years and it seems kinda odd that it failed now when everything torque wise is the same

the oil pump was in the lower boundries for clearences so i doubt it was an oiling issue. This literally happened at 2k rpms.

if it broke from the material, the keyway wouldnt be like that.. something was too tight, and or oiling issue to the head..
