Still think you can put off getting those cams welded or don't believe the problem exists? Read this from the V8SHO mailing list and then make an appointment to get your cams welded ASAP: I do believe I have come close to disaster but narrowly avoided complete ruin with my cams. They are definitely knocking loud and clear. I was on my way home from the store and was at the light when I heard the knocking and that was the first thing I remember thinking was oh crap. Luckily I live only a few hundred feet from that light so I made it home with no really bad noise like the motor freezing up. Anyway, I need to know when the next camfest is going to be held or haul the car (to an expert somewhere). Thanks and phew.... Will 98 SHO BLK
