well i was on my way home from a friends house last night and i was going about 115 or so and i went to shift into 5th but 3rd is what i got. it tached out to about 10,000 rpm.

i have:
comp cams springs and Ti retainers with stage 2 cams (b16a stock shortblock)
-----
I didnt think anything really happened. the car seemed to run fine. so i went straight home and didnt mess with it for the remainder of the evening. Anyhow, i woke up this morning and popped the hood then fired her up. It started fine and I stood in front of the car listening for anything unusual... it sounded fine. As i was looking around, i noticed the exhaust cam gear was sticking out about 3mm more than the intake cam gear. right then i was like FUCK! so i shut her down and pulled the valve cover off. sure enough, the exhaust cam snapped over the #4 cylinder between the vtec lobe and the far left lobe... have a look see. the first pic is what it should look like. the second and third are with it pulled apart.
i'll pull the head later this week to see the extent of the damage. but luckily, i didnt hear anything unusual, and it seemed to run decent.
i fucked up and shifted into 3rd instead of 5th @ 115 mph and broke my exhaust camshaft.
