Re: another wtf thread...
Was the cam caps and rails placed on right? Not calling u stupid or anything just generally asking. They got arrows and numbers to let you know where and which way they face. Any info on motor setup? Did it only tear up the journals closest to the cam gears?

Re: another wtf thread...
I don't buy that at all. Making the belt too tight doesn't affect the bearing clearances (so there should have been oil in the journals), and the forces on the cams when the engine changes speed are much higher than an overtightened belt. I think you have an oiling problem caused by something else.
