What a terd


Buddy of mine called me this morning and said he installed his E cam last night but now when he gets on it the car falls on its face and the tranny(AOD) shifts funny. I suggested going back and making sure the dots were lined up and reset timing. Any opinions on his problems?

E cam will hurt bottom end performance if thats all he installed and didnt do heads with it , and check the AOD's kick down cable might not be hooked back up if he had it all apart
