RE: Maybe the worn guides caused the contact.

Well Tim I am going through the same exact problem after my gresh rebuild and mild cam. My heads were reconditioned about 3000 miles ago and the motor is only 1000 miles old. So far it has bent 4 pushrods and broke 2 valve springs, but it hasen't taken out a piston yet. The rebuilder says that the cam is fine and that it shouldn't be doing this. I would be interested to find out what you did to cure your problem.
Thanks
This thread, so far...
