After I received the rocker and pushrod from dgc333 I went out this morning to install them. I was putting things together and it just wasn't going right. I said, crap, a few times, and started taking the top off the engine. 30 minutes later I found the problem. Number 3 exhaust lobe is in the process of disappearing from the face of the earth. I ended up going to town and ordering a new cam from the local Dodge engine guru. I am getting the Comp Cams Extreme Energy 268. It will work good in my setup. All the other lobes on the cam looked perfect so I have to come to the conclusion that whatever happened to bend the pushrod is what caused the cam lobe to go bad. The cam had been in the engine for 3 years. It's a good thing I enjoy working on cars almost as much as I enjoy driving them. LOL Oh well, I will be back on the road again next weekend.
