Do you have a closeup pic of what you saw...?
Do you mean the cam bearing is munged up and this is preventing you pulling the cam out...? Or has the cam bearing walked (dislocated)...?

disregard, i got the bearing out and the journal was not scarred. i feel like i got lucky. had to remove pistons and rods number 5 and 6 to get to it. guess now i am just gonna do a full rebuild anyway. gotta pay to play.
