Next step: Pulling the valve assembly and checking for bent pushrods. If they are all fine, my plan is to replace the cam gear (aluminum, no "plastic"!) and then check engine compression.
I don't want to make work for myself by rebuilding an engine that's been already rebuilt and was running perfectly before the cam gear lost its teeth.
The other place that 'kits' and at very reasonable prices is
Kanter. When you look that what is included in the kit it's way cheaper then the sum of the parts.
The other place that carries a surprising amount of NOS parts is
Rock Auto.
It's always a good plan to "not fix what ain't broken".
Keep us posted on your findings.
