Well, I can only hope that my cam also survived. He had several other engines there that he was about to work on, but all were GM engines. He builds racing engines for his sons and friends, so I am hoping that he used the same degree of detail on my engine that he uses for them. I guess that only time will tell.

I can say that, while it was on the run stand, it never shook at all, but idled and ran very smoothly. I'm sure that part of this was the fact that the run stand and the mounts were all metal, but even so, if it were not running well, the stand still would have shaken at least a bit. It was also on casters so he could move it around. It was very steady during the run, which did last about 10 minutes. He assured me that he had already performed the cam break-in run before I was present for the other run.
