regardless of whether the cam snapped, im sure some main bearings and possiblly other things got trashed prior to the cam breaking. just a thought good luck.

i know that their is a decent chance and risk that the main bearings might be toast.

I just a little bit ago that the car wasnt completely out of oil. they showed me what was drained out of it and it looks like about 3 qts.

i know that when the cam snapped that the car died then. it was the cam that has the timing reference on the end of it so when the cam snapped it lost its timing reference.
