Default Cam bearing scared up? Need bottom end help

well I had this tick that would come and go.. I thought it was lifters so we tore the heads off and etc. Lifters looked fine, but that doesnt mean one was weak causing the tick.

anyway, next the cam came out. The front cam bearing looks like this

looks like something got up in there and scared it up?

I tried my best to look down the cam shaft hole and see the others, but they all looked fine from what I could see. But as you know, its hard as hell to see all those in there.



money's tight as hell now.. so what would you do? any info would be greatly appreciated

yeah but the only problem is.. what does everything else look like in there now...

ive been told the best thng to do is pull the bottom end, take that apart.. check out the crank and etc bearings also. Then go from there.

I didnt even see were the rear of the fornt bearing was shaved off. Thats where my metal dusting came from in the oil
