Oh no he didnt!! HA!
Classic advice for the boards, I personally was moved by the rope question!
Seriously though, machine work in Oklahoma City is cheaper than New York plus the chics have bigger ****. Call your local machine shop for a quote. If your in Oklahoma I would suggest Folks Machine shop in Norman, OK.

might want to find the cause of the spun bearing as well
lack of oil?
lack of servicing?
excessive heat?
failed oil pump?
failed relief springs?
additionally if these bearings are spun check tolerances and condition of the rest of the motor

Thanks.. im gonna guess lack of oil maybe... by some means bc cam bearings aren't the prettiest... didnt come with cam/oil pump.. only lifters and rotating assembly...

probably a good thing they aren't included, at least you know the condition of parts you put into the motor
Make sure the oil passages in the block get flushed out thoroughly.
the guy i got it from said it had an aftermarket cam in it... he pulled it out and put it in his car... good idea prolly not but.. not mine.. did come with a rollmaster double roller timing set.. doesnt look used at all and 2 spacer shims for the oil pump.. wondering if they had something to do with it, btw sry about yesterday had a shitty day wasnt in a good mood...
