Is it common for the 3rd gen to snap a camshaft? I don't think it matters, but I'm running 3sgte cams in a 3sge head (head has turbo springs). As far as I know the 3sgte and 3sge heads are the same with the exception of the valve covers.

I'm pretty sure the head isn't warped, but I'll find out for sure when I get it back from the machine shop tomorrow or Monday. -------------------- -Jay
