Cam Bearings ??? Or lack of.... 200 1989

Right on J, I should be able to post a movie by tonight.

Since the engine had been running for a while, the possiblity of a wal-mart botching is unlikely.

There really is no way to pressurize the oil galleys without taking the t-belt off and spinning the Intermediate shaft with a power drill, or if you are really into it you could connect a line from a oil tank under pressure right to the oil light pressure port next to the oil filter.

There is another port J, on the back of the head, it has conical threads and is very likely a oil pressure port for a gauge. If you have any concerns, you might observe gauge pressure at that port.

It is possible J, that the belt was just old and broke because it was not replaced at the proper interval. If this is the case, then you should just replace the belt and put your old cam back in. If you switch cams, the valve clearences might change, and then you would have to obtian shims (another delay). If I were you, I'd obtain a pull and pickyard head, and build that one (vat & valve job). That way, when you have the time, it makes the operation simple.
