I'm guessing everyone has by now heard the story that doing an "in car" cam change on an LT1 will cause engine problems.

I even remember seeing some discussion on that here.

Does anyone know if a conclusion was ever reached? Is there actually a confirmed problem? If so, is it avoidable/preventable?

I can't seem to locate any definitive information on it.

 

It's a possible problem if you're rough w/ the cam re-install.... Though I've done 2 in the past month and a half... No problems here. Maybe it's just bad luck?? Or lack of preventive maint?

My guess is there's no "confirmed" problem. Unless myself, along w/ the 8475893654 others who haven't had an issue are all equally lucky.
