Did you pull the dizzy and prelube the motor before fire up? Death of a flat tappet cam set is NOTORIOUS now days! Just is. Every precaution you can take gives you a % increase in success. Common KNOWN + 's are
Assembly lube, break in oil with HIGH ZZT, pre-lube before fire, immediate filter inspection after fire up with oil change to high ZZT oil, OCD type inspection of EVRY lifter. ALL these combined give you a 75% chance of survival rate .....up from the %50 chance.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
