I also thought of stuck shut, but upside down is a good thing to check! And a collapsed hose will overheat you right quick too. Both good ideasI'd guess that this was assembly error. The assemblers didn't torque the bolts down uniformly and AMCs have those aluminum bridge things inside the rockers - connecting two rockers together - which can easily get cocked during assembly and cause a similar event to what they described. I've put together a couple of AMCs with custom cams and never found a manufacturer that grinds big BIG cams for AMCs. So I doubt it's too big. Anyhow, I sure guessed wrong on the thrown lifter, so whadaIknow anyway?
