Started my first rebuilt engine and a few minutes later bang and then the engine, stopped, no gas?.
So I checked and found that the eccenitic? was broken off,but still in the timing cover, I used a magnet and retrieved it out.
wht did it brake.
the eng. is a 5.0 with 65 timing cover.note the eccenitic was not round but 1/4 round.

 

did the pin break, the bolt or the actual eccentric?

 

the eccintic only I think, the cover is still on, a light and mirrior to see

 

Those are junk, use a full round steel 1 piece, long dowel pin.

 

i like the 2 piece rounds myself, seems like there should be less friction somehow.

 

I know, should of put the round one on, thought about it, but did not do it, Shi>@.
will have to take the timimg cover off and see what left, and change the oil asap.

 

Is there something wrong to cause this? I have never heard of this before

 

if it just snapped, you wouldnt have to even change the oil cept for you'll probably get crap in the pan while cleaning up the timing cover gasket remnants

 

I :confused, need to replace broken eccentric, what should I get?
stock 5.0 with alum. heads, 600 elder, hooker headers.
old one was a 1/3 eccentric 1 or 2 piece

 

Theres your problem it is not made to run a pump.efi motors dont have the
eccentric to run a pump just need one of the other kind both will work
