This is the cam I have.

valve springs: SBI 32-2225 it looks like. I can't find info on those.

There is a Melling VS225, which is a stock valve spring.

Did you see the bolt from the cam gear? What about the front of the cam gear?

Those two cylinder may have a bit of coolant coming in but they don't look that bad, did you notice a coolant loss? I don't see any definitive proof on that. I'd be more concerned with the chain someone left in there.. couldn't have been good for the valves and pistons running like that.

I could not find the bolt from the cam gear... The front of the cam had a pin ill call it that would fit into the gear so they stay together.

That top bolt hole, for the retainer plate, looks like it has a lot of oil in it compared to the bottom hole. There isn't a "tap" into the oil system in there is there? Just brain stroming, maybe that hole needs to be plugged?

Not sure if the info I got from Jones still applies to this thread, so I posted it in my build thread.
