Here's one ill bet youve never heard of before

Threw a rocker off the follower

This kinda crap only hapens to me lol. Well its fixed and thankfully no damage to cam. What in the hell coulda caused that? Any ideas? It happened at 118mph in fifth gear as i crossed the finish line. Car just stalled as I let off (kinda scary with no steerin and brakes). Well i guess it coulda been much worse.

Destroyed a titanium spring retainer, sucked a valve at 130mph at 330 in the morning, in a 72 nova! No worries though, I costed into a mountain on the 405 coming into the valley!

Your car has rockers and followers? Cool mine only has cam followers. Stop bouncing it off of the rev limiter when you do your burn out. Leave that to the Hondas.
