It is possible but I would look at all other possibilities why it is "choking" (i.e. fuel delivery, vacuum and/or timing issues, etc.) before digging into the motor for a cam change.
Good call, it's just that I spoke to the owner and he claims his mechanic diagnosed it as a 'worn cam due to lack of oil'. Symptoms being chocking at fuller throttle and a tapping sound at fuller throttle.
Maybe BS his mechanic is selling him to get some cash off him I don't know.
Suppose the timing chain could have jumped etc.
Any symptomps that are worn cam specifc that I don't know about?
