heeelp with newly installed cam
My dad and I installed an lt4 hotcam and 1.6 RRs in my z28. The first time we tried to crank it, it started up fine. We let it idle for a bit, then revved it some. Once it it about 4K, it just died. After that, it won't crank, and sounds weird when its turning over. The only way we can get it to crank it if im turning it over and my dad is giving it gas. Once we get it running, it won't idle right away, but if we take it up too high it'll die. Any ideas?

ok, i talked to one of my buddies that knows his lt1s like the back of his hands... sorry to say, he started to laugh and said to find out what happened, popping the valve covers off its a start... this sounds internal, which isnt necessarely a good thing. all i can say man is to tear it apart and look for something unusual, you know?

i know when I took my water pump off once when doing my opti, after I put it back on (highly suggest that you replace water pump when ever its taken off) it started to squeel like a ****, try to determine where it is actually coming from

We did replace the waterpump, so that'll be the first place we look tomorrow. Thanks a lot for your help!
