Thanks for the advice. I did not provide the shop any different retainers or locks so presumably they were reassembled using the same ones delivered by 440 Source - they certainly look what came on them. I wish I had taken baseline measurements before any work was performed so I'd know how...
Playing around with the old seal after removal, it seems to be a very snug fit on the shaft - not seemingly worn oversize at all. Considering the amount of oil that was on the outside of the bearing retainer I’m now wondering if the issue all along was no sealer on the bearing retainer bolts...
I just bought one from this guy on eBay. Rebuilding only car valves is what he does most. I just bought one for my ‘65 Coronet through eBay as he had one built and ready to go. He did a great job. Whole unit was glass beaded looked 98% new. I was given a tracking number before end of day one of...
Obviously, not every flat tappet cam install ends up in failure.
It just seems to be a riskier endeavor than it once was.
For the reasons brought up already.
Sounds like the 5th time was the charm.
Ok everyone you’ve given me plenty to think about and quite a few task to get done. I will get busy on this and get the heads coming probably just order without springs so I can get the one that match the cam when I cross that road. And as always thanks a ton for all of your wisdom I really...

My research shows it fits 1970 through 1974 B Bodies and 1970 through 1974 E Bodies.
Check your application to make sure.
This part was purchased through YEAR ONE.
The price has been reduced from $85.00 plus shipping down...
My first two cam failures were almost 20 years ago. Both were in my 440/495.
We want to think that we did everything right to ensure long life but it is always possible that some fatal mistake was made without even knowing. One cam crapped out not long after break in, the second one lasted...
Did the heads get reassembled with different retainers/locks than they were delivered with?
The reason I ask is, the IH on them is usually pretty close to 1.875, and should actually have increased slightly after the seat work.
Have you verified the height mic is correct?
Just set it to 1.875...
I bought a new pair of 440 Source Stealth aluminum heads for my 383 build - 9.5:1 street build with HUG SEH1620BL-12 flat tappet hydraulic cam (specs below). Based on things I have read in this forum and elsewhere, I sent the heads to the machine shop to be checked and they reported that some of...
