Okay time for a update on this one,
So the head had to be sent away to be worked on, it needed work on some of the valve seat and valve guides, even with the spare valves I had I must buy 2 more new valves to finish off the head (more money spent).
Having looked at the pistons after the camshaft failure, I set about looking for some new pistons and rings.
Found some on ebay a full set of new GM pistons and rings
As these pistons use a press fit gudgeon pin and I don't have the kit to do this properly, so off to some one who can.
one of the finished ones
As you can see from the photo I needed to replace the bearings shell,
So I order a set and then got them only to find out that I needed a set of 0.25 and not standard ones ....... Doooooh
More money spent and the right size ordered this time (above are the old ones).

Got my new camshaft a few days ago.
A Newman 288/507 PH3.
As you can see the profile of the Newman 288 is quite different from that of a Piper 300
Hi all as some of you know since my engine let go at the start of 2015 and then rebuilt it I've not had it running properly.
It would run but had no power and would not rev over 4500 rpm or just not start at all.
Over the past year I've tried every thing I could to get it to run good, complete carb rebuild, dizzy settings, different dizzy, spark plugs, leads, different module, cam timing, and other things too, none worked.
Question to myself WHY was it running before using the same parts and now not ?!!.
Only answer I have is the cam shaft is new !!. Could that be the problem ?.
So I will change the cam shaft. I set about this undoing the head bolts to remove the head and cam carrier. Once the head was removed I checked the motor over and I was not happy with the new pistons I had fitted, only to find out there are the wrong size the block had been bored out and I put standard size pistons in.
Yer good now what, not too sure just to what size it was bored out to I decided to have it re-bored and buy new pistons to fit.
Below are photos of the new gaskets, seals and bolts and other parts I have bought to rebuild the engine again plus the block and new pistons.
I don't know how to but I'm sure that there is someone on here who can, with a 1mm oversize re-bore what will be the cc of the engine now ?. It is a 1.4NV block.
Thourght you sold it
