Well ****.......
Got the hoe to the shop to begin the work. Made it there, got the bay that our friend said to use ready to go. Fired the hoe up to put it in the bay, and she made some horrid noises, like the lifter decided to collapse. Tried to get it in the shop, when a REAL bad noise happened. A valve seat decided to break, and destroy a piston....****
I'll post more pics later, and the video I was making for you guys to hear what I thought was a lifter.
Here are a few teasers...

your engine was so giddy to get a new cam shoved in... it broke itself apart LOL
good news, now is a good time to add the rest of the forged parts it will need to handle anything you want to do later on ...

The valve seat broke in half and dropped into the cylinder. Half of the seat was stuck in the intake valve and wouldn't allow it to shut, lol
I'm gonna look for a new short block I think... I'm just still in disbelief that it happened and I hadn't planned on this contingency, lol.

The heads looked ok, minus the one that ejected the valve seat
