wel, about 2 months ago my r32 GTR went back into the garage for several teething problems, one of them being lumpy tick over etc. anyway, to cut a 2month story short, this was one of the problems.

my only real question is what could have caused this? it wasnt broken while in the car, just fractured, then fell apart afterwards:bawling:

Ouch!

Would the cam bearings coming loose thus the camshaft bouncing up and down cause it to snap like that?

 

[R32 Combat]

Are they STD cams?

A warped head, incorrect fitting, over tightened cam belt can all cause cams to snap.

 

[bomberGTR]

yup standard cams

the head gasket blew a while back and was repaired with most of the old water hoses but may have caused more problems than we thourght??

I`v seen this happen when they are not fitted correctly. Ie the caps are not done up in the correct order.

Camshaft Damage

Experienced this many times when stripping engines, has any work been done on the cam pulleys lately? Pehaps wrong torque setting - camshaft used to lock engine during belt change, not the done thing.
