Re: camshaft won't last wtf !!!!!

Had the same problem with my 355. When I installed the freeze plug in the back of the block (the one by the last cam journal) I drove it in too far preventing the cam from going far enough back in the block.
I killed 2 cams before getting frustrated enough to get a second opinion. Pulled the motor, took it to the shop I bought my parts from and they diagnosed it.
