Kinda silly to put them on blast before contacting them...

Did you ensure the cams spun freely in the head before going through with final install? Any time I get new cams, or a head back from the machine shop, I install the cams with assembly line and make sure they spin nicely without the rockers installed.

I am not trying to put GSC or him on blast, I cannot find him on the member roster or vender list using the search function, so I was hoping someone would tag him if possible

Nobody picks up the phone anymore?

Here is how you contact Greg @ GSC: Pick up your phone, call GSC, ask for Greg.

You're right, that is an easy way to do it. But It also doesn't allow me to get the educated opinions of anyone else on the forums, I guess it is unheard of to come here for information when you have a serious engine failure,

I guess I should just call them up and put them on blast before I even attempt to get other opinions?

This statement makes no sense. You call them up TO get their opinion.

Your first question was "How do I contact GSC?"

Calling them and talking to them in a professional manner is not putting them on blast.

That is actually great advice. Will be following it from now on. Better to be as sure as possible than leave anything up to chance.

Did you bleed the lifters down?

That wear definitely isn't normal but as long as it doesn't catch a fingernail it can be polished out. Worst case scenario there are some shops that can machine cam bores.
