Greetings all, I just want to relate my tale of dissapointment with my engine project. I built a high performance 460 with Edelbrock heads, Keith black pistons, Fel-pro gaskets, Federal mogul bearings and rings, all ARP fasteners, Clevite high volume oil pump, the list goes on... The engine also included a Comp Cams XE274H cam kit. The entire kit was used and installed correctly and degreed. The engine ran well during the initial recommended break-in period. When I went to retorque the heads as recommended, I found that most of the rocker arms were loose. The manifold was then removed and I discovered that the cam lobes and lifters did not sit squarely. About half of them were ground down badly with varying severity. The resulting metal shavings have contaminated the rest of the engine. I have a couple of questions for anyone who wishes to answer them.

Has this happened to anyone else?
Besides replacing the cam and lifters, how liable is comp cams for the resulting engine damage?
Are there any laws regarding this type of damage (aside from the lousy advertised warranty) ?
