Engine Help w/pics "Valvetrain"
 
2 Attachment(s)
Well i was cruising at about 3500 rpms when the motor started to miss it fell off plane. It didn't stall but it was knocking, I shut it down, got towed in. I got home and pulled the valve cover to find this on cylinder 3 and 5 the rockers arms are no longer on the pushrods yikes...it looks like cylinder 5 can just be put back on, but on cylinder 3 there is just way to much slack...The motor has about 15 hours on it and is a reman. the orignial was an 89' I know what it probably is but I guess I should as you guys...I am thinking cam lobe

It could also be the rocker arm studs pulling out of the head....if they are pressed in, pretty common thing

It looks like a catastrophic failure of cam. Pushrods more than likely popped out of lifter cups.

Is that a tree-fiddy? where did the reman come from?

We just put a reman 350 in my buddy's boat. I'm hoping he fares a little better. That job SUCKED... I don't want to have to pull that sucker out again!

In the second pic, it looks like the stud is pulling out of the head.

Its a reman 350 with vortec heads and an air-gap intake...it does kind of look like that (stud) I didn't notice it was any higher when I was looking at it last night but then again i didn't realize to look for that. I will lay a straight edge on it tonight when I get home. If it is the stud then how do I go about getting it out and going with a screw in?

It is possible your rounded the cam or had bad lifters in the motor.
One way to check is to turn the motor over by hand and see if the lifters or pushrods are moving up and down. You can look into the lifter gally or just leave the push rod in place and watch it.
Also check your pushrods and make sure they are not bent.

thats my fear...I am praying for the easier of the 2...I don't mind removing the heads..but pulling the motor to change the cam would kill the rest of my summer!
