I would agree with that statement too since you are getting a cam sensor code, typically the bolts back out and the gear hits the sensor causing both the sensor code and a lot of other problems.

Looks like Kharma got you Mazen... that's what happens when you try and rip people off saying you never received the parts and didn't order them by starting a chargeback for parts you bought.

My favorite part..."My card was stolen and someone disputed the charges to make more room" What an idiot.

Here's a recent post on his Instagram page touting how "earned the mods on his car"... stay away from this guy... he's a total thief
It has been confirmed he has tried to do a charge back on 3 business trying to scam his way to a set of custom wheels, Corbeau Seats, Brain Tooley Springs, and a FAST Intake.

2006 corvette c6 z51 with 28,000 miles. Recent Cam, spring, pushrod install. Louder than normal valvetrain noise after install, car still ran good rhough. Dyno tuned and made 465 at the wheels. Drive it home, put on 50 miles more then boom, Tapping noise occurs from the valvetrain area , I freak out (I was driving on a busy road) tapping noise gets louder and louder. No oil warning light or codes thus far. Boom something I hear snaps or breaks, oil pressure drops to zero and car shuts off and coasts. I pull over, car refuses to start. (Only tried once for a sec). I get it towed, I open up the covers. Springs fine, push rods fine, I did have excessively play with one rocker. I checked the oil dipstick and the oil in the cover multiple times, no metal flakes at all.
Pulled the codes, p0340
Camshaft position sensor
What could this all mean? Lifter collapsed? Fail Cam? If so am I OK without seeing metal shavings it those places (concerning the engine)
What do you guys think?

Experience of a friend of mine scares me and your experience makes me double wary. He built a 69 COPO Camero replica from the ground up with a 427. Used a Crane cam with very similar grind to the original. After 50 miles, engine had excessive valve noise. Checked clearances and realized cam was all flat spotted. Not hardened. Turned out Crane was sold to China company and is making &$@/! Has to pull engine for complete disassembly and hope it didn't ruin everything else. Hope yours is a better story.
