Basically, for the laymen here, that thing shouldn't be loose like that because the nut that is over it is locked into place where it used to be tight on it. After running this brand new motor for 20 minutes, It's no longer tight.

It may not be a big deal, but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what else could cause it other than the cam lobe being worn down and suffering cam failure. That means this brand new motor I've had so many problems with is STILL not finished, and I've got to tear the WHOLE DAMN THING APART AGAIN. :mad:

Im so tired of this... I've put easily 100 hours into putting it together, taking it apart, putting it together, taking it apart, putting it back together, running it, taking it apart, and now after putting it back together, again I have to take it apart AGAIN... and even more than last time.

I've had so much bad luck with this thing... :sad:

Hopefully this next time it will all turn out okay. :sad:

Also, I figured some of you guys (Whether you like me or not) would enjoy hearing my hilarious accent.
 
Well, I decided that if it's not broken in by now, it's not going to be. The only way to tell if it's going ot live is to just run it.

So I went ahead and just set the valve lash on that one valve, and dropped the idle down to something more reasonable, and here's the result!

I just hope it's a quirk and not a problem.
