What shall I do?
So I'm driving and I hear a loud tick all of a sudden. I take the top end apart and find a broken roller lifter retainer. I remove the roller lifters and find one that is broke. Today I decide to finally do my cam swap. I for some reason can't get the cam out at all. I finally get it loose and there is a mangled cam bearing that comes loose with the cam. I hear a loud tink in the oil pan. The cam still will not come out after an hour of trying. You can see the mangled cam bearing. Two questions:
1. What does it take to do the cam bearings.
2. Is it worth it to fix.
The block a year old but it was a cheapo autozone type short block. What do you guys think?
Thanks
