So I finally get my 87T back together and I'm out on a sweet test run. Rebuilt engine,new pinon bearings,88 brake conversion ala Cliff almost done-sooooo nice. I'm rockin down the highway about a mile out at 2500 rpm. Engine goes suddenly dead.Tow it home. Got spark,got gas. Compression 155-160-155-0. Valve cover off. #4 intake cam lobes not touching the lifters. Crap. Both cam spockets loose. What idiot didn't torque the cam sprocket bolts. Oh, I guess that's me.So now the heads off. Yup, both # 4 intakes bent. A couple of cute little divots in the piston.So here's the question from the idiot. Is piston damage likely?
