great...now that we have a misinformingly created thread, we are gunna have a bunch of noobs (no offense to this guy) think that BC cams are a shitty product, when in fact they weren't at fault for issues.

and if they were, then your setup wasnt done properly to handle the cam.

A cam has no way of “sticking a valve” open. Shoddy workmanship does, inferior parts does, defective parts does (valve, guide, maybe spring or retainer), but cam? Maybe you guys need to go play with something else...Tonka comes to mind

Being honest this is just a rant without knowing what really happend.

Care to explain how a cam made your valve stuck open?

I would've said I agree with you if the cam broke or something but thats not the case right?

Call PFI @ pfispeed.com for more information. THEY told me it was the cams, and they built Kevin Warren's SRT4. Call me a dumbass, and realize that shop knows wtf they're doing, and it WAS the cams fault.

Ask Kevin Warren. Ask Dan or Brent @ PFI and they'll fill you in for more info.

Still sticking to original post.

Let me help.

It's not the cam. 9/10 it's the LIFT or RAMP of the lobe that causes coil bind OR 5th order harmonics. Now once any of the aforementioned stuff happens it normally results in a broken retainer thus a valve falling into the cylinder and chomp, chomp, chomp 5K down the toilet.

If in this case it's coil bind and or the valve installed height is too high then it's the builders fault for not dry checking ALL clearences. Resulting in >
