Hopefully I won't need that:

I just talked to MikeW... he told me "I should buy a lottery ticket". Being the half-empty type of guy I am, I immediately assumed I was gonna need lottery-like dollars to fix the motor. Turns out, he meant that I am one lucky bastard (this time).

Looks like the only thing that broke was the cam gear bolt. The intake valves on that cam happened to stay shut when it failed, so it seems that they escaped damage from the pistons. Mike and Tommy already have the motor running again. The 1/3 cylinders passed the leak-down test w/ flying colors, and since the timing may have jumped, they're testing the 2/4 side now. If they pass, I'm hoping to toss in the new injectors, get it on the dyno, and get it back up to Reno before this weekend's event.

Here's to crossed-fingers.
