    Front end alignment

    If the ride height changes any amount, the camber may change slightly, but the toe will change a lot and is the highest tire wear angle. Yes. You need to do another alignment.

    69 RR stalls shifting into D or R

    I put my shifter cable in heat shield, DEI I think. Still too close for my liking so then I the cable with shield inside an aluminum heat riser tube. No problem since. Only problem was nobody at part store knows what a heat riser is.

    Cam lasted 5 minutes

    The rockers just bolt down, no adjustment. The lifter plunger was approximately 1/2 turn down

    Unfortunately the lifter preload was not checked. Just went with what the machine shop provided. Another mistake.

    Thanks for everyone’s replies. How nobody in the shop, including myself, knew this is disappointing to say the least. And the machine shop too (?). Hopefully my mistake will help somebody else out.

    Cam lasted 5 minutes

    I already have the oil pan off and have cleaned and cleaned. I’ll do the pump too. About 1/2 lifters had to come out the bottom because they we’re mushroom. So… is the general consensus is that the springs could have caused this? Makes sense to me because I see nothing wrong.

    It was all the lifters. I’ll try to get pics Monday.

    You are correct. The lifters were not spinning. Ground the ____ out of them. The bores were lubed and lifters spinning easily. The machine shop said he has seen this a couple of times but did not know why, so he is warranty the parts. I just don’t want to do it 3 times! It’s not fun anymore

    Haven’t determined that yet. Would probably need to send out the metal particles and have that check to match the cam or lifter. I just do t know
