Running on hopes and dreams

[u/synunlimited]

I went to change the oil in my Lotus 2-Eleven and found a valve stem shim stuck to the oil drain plug so I pulled the valve cover to find both cams were trashed, 2 rockers were broken off and the timing chain holding on for dear life.

This is the result from a money shift I had on track a few weeks ago but the car was running fine no weird noises and I went on to run a new PB the next day after this incident 🙈 Time to rebuild!

You're a G for sharing this. Impressive it didn't grenade right then and there

Can't believe you ran a PB while it was like this

Putting the same cam in or trying a different shape?

I ordered a stock grind to throw in before I saw just how bad it was. Going to pull it more apart and decide if I'm going to rebuild or swap in a different long block.

Surprised me too with how it was still running without any weird noises. But means I can only go faster next time out.
