New price. $150.00

Well...today was the day to find out if I found the squealing noise. I finally buttoned (no pun intended) everything back up and started the engine. Drove it around my neighborhood and got it up to operating temperature. No squeal. I believe it had to be the cam button. Some genius years...

When I purchased my car 9 years ago, it had a 160 thermostat in it. It ran great but I let everyone make me believe that I should have a 195 in it because "that's what it's supposed to have". So stupid me put a 195 stat in. That lasted 2 miles. Holy sh*t that thing puked it guts all over the...

I'd like to go but it all depends on the weather.

Cam button has been removed. I really hope that was my squealing problem.

OMG, that's the answer I was looking for. I PRAY to God that cam button is my problem.

What you highlighted in yellow....my thoughts exactly. Marketing B/S.

Lewtot184 - what kind of sound did your engine make when your "single bolt cam" rubbed?

I just went out there and shined a light inside to see the cam. Sure looks like a flat tappet cam to me. I see no rollers and no cross bars. I see 2 lifters sitting directly on the camshaft. This cam button is driving me crazy. Why would you put one in on flat tappet cam? Right now...

Yes, I wiped it down before taking pics. OK, let me go out there now to see through..... thank you.

OMG, what a can of worms I've opened. I didn't build this engine. No idea if it has a roller cam in it. All I wanted to do was find my source of squealing. No idea where to go from here.
