Really? So this is a common problem with those cams? It was the 59300 model.

It didn't come directly from Zex I bought it through a distributor on Ebay. Don't know what I should do.

I'm thinking either over torqueing it could somehow do it, but more than that maybe the belt being too tight? But even more of a possibility is that the casting was junk.

If it was a Z6 and you need any parts, let me know. I've got a whole Z6 head that I have absolutely no use for.

Your the man Stealth. I'm going to contact Zex about it but I want to pull the engine appart and find out if there was any other damage suffered (bent valves etc.) I know my cam gear is junk now.

I'd say you're pretty fortunate that it happened at idle. I doubt anything got fucked up.

definitely call them up, and don't say "can you do anything for me" say " my cam broke, blah blah, it was installed correctly, blah blah, so how should I go about sending it back to you" try not to give them the option of saying no we cant do anything. and if you have a way of making up proof that you had it professionally installed, then tell them it was.
