Going to divide up the replies - too many pics for one.

Spent 3 hours Saturday tearing the whole engine down. It's ready for the block, heads and crank to go to the machine shop.

Here's the camshaft and bearings pics. I hope that pulling the camshaft out broke those bearings!

Oh, and yes, I plan on replacing the camshaft. Haven't decided exactly which one yet.

Main bearings are starting to show some wear, not to bad though.
