Procomp equals procrap, offshore junk made from inferior alloys with varying tolerances. The old adage " you get what you pay for " goes a long way in explaining why you experienced the damage you did. Buy American made products, pay the price, and sleep good at night.

Default Speedmaster junk

I had the exact same ones on my freshly rebuilt l77 6.0 (my first rebuild omo) but less then 300 miles, and a winter of sitting I'm driving along and tap tap tap tap I'm thinking the worse but it wasn't what I was thinking no lifter or piston damage but it put the car down another 4 months at the beginning of what was gonna be its first full season
