yes,port motor is out and it is hurt.it has a billet camshaft that requires a brass distributer gear,guess what ,has a steel gear.the cam is junk,the teeth on the gear are braking off,the pin on the front of cam is broke off,and the timing chain is very stretched,also the main bearings are showing some wear so i replaced with a new set.new cam on order,maybe il see it on tuesday.il post more pix soon.
