So, Yesterday's Inappropriate Action Victim had serial #'s on the cams that didn't match, Plus, the heads looked like they were out of two different engines.
Clearly, something happened here.
Do I report a painfully obvious cam failure? This owner has no prior
knowledge of this car's history.

Sure, if it helps the cause, I'm all for it. Once again I want to thank you, not only for the weld job, but for your professionalism and quality of work. I was impressed, and that's not easy to do. If you're ever in STL, look me up.

Remember when I said your cam #'s didn't match and it looked like your car had
been repaired? I asked the V8SHO group about this "Evidence" and they asked to
place your car on the cam failure list - you are tentatively lucky cam failure
report # 791. Before I release any info to the site I wanted to ask your
permission. Do you want your name added to the list? It's pretty obvious what
must have taken place under your valve covers.

Subject: V8SHO owners list add
My name is Jon Bell and I would like to be added to the owners list on V8SHO.com. I own a 1997 Ebony Mist SHO, and I live in St. Louis Missouri.
I also have a question if you have the time. I just recently got my cams welded by Eric Lehmann, how do I go about posting a recommendation on his cam welding experience page? I am lucky cam failure # 791, but she's still running. If there's anything else I can do to help our cause, please let me know.
