[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1421025, member: 3828"] Is it possible that the shop just mis-timed your engine? I doubt the cams were damaged by being a half quart low on oil. What is possible is that the cranked down on the camshaft bolts with the cam mispositioned and damaged the alloy caps. If that is the only problem replacing the damaged parts would be preferable to me over replacing the whole head. Was the shop planning on replacing the head too? (Bottom half of the can bearings are the head) Before committing to any engine replacement I would certainly seek an independent third partys opinion. [/QUOTE]
