I'd totally help you man so that you could make it to Kelowna but I'm so swamped with planning stuff for the trip and my upcoming wedding. What do you have left to do. Do you have an engine hoist?

I don't understand that either, but I think he meant that one of the camshaft pulleys sheared on the camshaft, when he was describing it on the phone. Never seen that before but I still haven't had a chance to see his engine yet. I'll only really be able to work on it if all the tools needed are available on site.

if it's the same thing that happened to a friend, dirt made it's way up to the cam gear and entered the cam area on the head and ate the head journals.

why just not swapped the damaged part ?

If you just need a hand, I can help you where I can, but I don't have all the technical know-how. I've got some tools too.
