for now at least. couple days ago the motor i have (BBC 468) was running like shit and back firing threw the carb. the timing on it was good so i went to go adjust the valves and #8 exhaust was lose as shit like just hanging there. so i go to adjust it and go turn the crank over to do the intake and the exhaust valve wasn't moving at all. so i took the intake off and found out the camshaft is rounded(fuck). but at least i don't have a whole in the block. but it still sucks

If you are running a flat tappet cam in this day and age you need to a zinc additive for your oil or run a zinc rich racing oil like Brad Penn Oil or Joe Gibbs Oil. Even diesel oil has little to zero zinc in it anymore.
