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.

Timing chain is not loose at all. Old fuel pump push rod was only worn slightly. I only replaced it to be safe back in 2019.

Pics.

Thank you autoxcuda. I did not know that about the cam button. Let me take some pics.....

Fran Blacker - yes the squeal speeds up with rpm. You'd swear it was a belt. Fuel pump and pushrod have 500 miles on them. I spent the last few hours pulling the front of the engine apart. I'm new to big blocks. Never been inside one before. Timing chain cover is off. Slinger is fine...

So.....I replaced the oil filter hoping I'd get lucky. Yeah right. I went for a ride and about a mile from I house, here comes the squealing sound again. Came home and I used a stethoscope to help pinpoint the noise. When I touched the timing chain cover, WOW, I can clearly hear it. I...
