the IAC valve ? i replaced that not to long a go with a new one it was fine before i replaced the cam and other bits

If you're not planning on getting a tune anytime soon and you're finding that the car is stalling, then crack open the butterfly a little or consider drilling a small hole in the butterfly

Hope this helps

Cheers,
Steve

You best bet would be to strip the motor down for a full inspection, if it has in fact spun a cam bearing

got an engine crane will strip most of it back this weekend then take it somewhere to get done as i don't wanna be touching all the piston's and crank shaft again like last time LOL hope it wont cost to much.

Thsecam is stick half way out of the front of the engine as when i went to take it out the bearing came with it so it's stuck on the cam

That's bad

Either you need to have the cam journal bearings ground down and run over-sized cam bearings or a new cam

Please as I've mentioned many times over please take your time with the build

All good the teacher at tafe was the one who put the cam in and timing chain there was plenty on it it was running for about 5 minutes then out of nowhere something sounded like it seized up and the engine stalled and because the started it again you know

But engines out now there wasn't any metal shavings in the oil so that's a good sign. I have another engine coming that i will put in it for now don't have the time to stuff around as i get my P's in a couple of weeks so i want to be able to drive

Also cam is out no damage to that at all no scratches nice and smooth
