I'm sure you guys should know this. Is the 670l or any other 426 an interference or non-interference design? I have one that threw a rod and broke the camshaft and need to know this.

interference, chances are you've got lots more valvetrain issues

I don't know of ANY diesel engine that could survive a broken camshaft and not have valves striking pistons somewhere.

7080's did. Dealer told of a customer that had a 7080that was starting to get a noise in it. With a half a day to plow, he finished and then they tore into it. He said the crank broke in such a way that everything still moved as if it was one piece. For how much longer is anyone guess.

Broken camshaft, not crankshaft.

A friend of mine who pulls his 220(fellow member here)had the front of his cam snap off toward the end of a pull, stopped it cold! lol! He slid the old cam out, and slid another in, and never pulled the head off. It ran the same afterward. It did bend a bunch of pushrods, but since the valves are square to the pistons, it didn't seem to hurt any valves. The pushrods are supposed to be the weak link anyway. His original cam did not have the bolt for the gear, the one I sold him to put in it did. The good part is at least when it gets pulled apart, we'll know right where to put the valve reliefs for the bigger cam that'll go back in it. lol!
