OK...pulled the timing cover and yes the gear/cam is walking . It has a very slight score on the inside cover but no damage to the gear. The car runs OK except for the noise which was the gear hitting the inside of the cover. I have a few questions:
1. Could the cam walk far enough to damage the lobes? The lifters appear to be operating normally.
2. It is an aluminum gear...how much heat should be used on re-install?
3. Any other recommendations prior to putting her back together?
Thanks in advance...Brady
