What do you think?

1. What does he mean about debris screens? I assume this is a trick option to keep the oil cleaner and the wear and tear to a minimum?

2. Also, I'm no cam expert but isn't 581/597 a pretty big cam? With the LSA and the lift duration, is this a streetable cam?

3. And I'm positive the part about a 79 Camaro is totally irrelevant?

Thanks guys.

Screens are epoxied in the valley to keep broken valvetrain pieces out of the oil pan, good idea.common on race engines. Cam is streetable with a loose converter, good cooling system'
Price is reasonable, check cylinders,bearings for wear, could have some hard miles on it.
