Hey CrazyMart,
I'm glad you got it sorted out!. That reminds me of the time I built my first E16 race engine. I had seen the rocker shaft bolts loosen and fall out of several customers stock street car engines, so I decided to "fix" that problem from ever happening to mine. So I put red Loctite on my rocker shaft bolts and torqued them down to spec. The next day, I went to adjust the valves and the engine would not turn! It was locked up! Holy crap I thought. Then I realized that the holes in the head where the rocker shaft bolts go, are drilled straight through to the camshaft journals. I had "glued" the cam to the head! It was easy to fix once I realized what I had done. Now I try not to "fix" stuff that isn't broke anymore.
