    probably a noob suggestion but could having 1.9 rockers or something of that sort with the new cam cause this?

    If the cam got f*cked, wouldn't the lifters look like hell too? The rollers on them look brand new. I'll pull the heads tonight and have a look. I REEEEAAALLLY don't want to have to pull the cam out again.

    P.S. I never changed the rockers. They are stock.

    i'd spin the engine so cly 1 is tdc and see where the cam lobes are, im pretty sure they should both be in the closed position., if you drop back in 2 lifters for cly 1, you should be able to tell where the lobes of the cam are.

    any way you look at it something is way off some how some where. i've never seen every push rod bent or broken.

    it would be a trip if you got a boat engine cam shipped to you, most boat engines run backwards.

    Yea I'll try that procedure with the lifters. I bought this cam off 03impala9c1. He's a very well respected member on many forums.
