I'm gonna give this thread one of these...:happy1:.
What I've seen so far just isn't making a whole lot of sense to me at this point? I have to assume that the cam at least spun ok when the shop buttoned it up.
Cam & lobes still looks decent, plenty of oil to the top end, but multiple bearings are trashed? And the engine was just missing or running weird.
I'm not trying to make a assessment here as I'm beat and had a long day. I'd just love to know the real cause of your issue.
