Tore into my front tt head and found one cam journal was gouged/ scored.

Can the head be saved? I have some 92 TT cams to swap in.
I've seen people run a LOT worse cam journals than that. I personally feel that the cam itself is scrap though, it looks really rough.
Would think getting just one set of journals line honed would be fairly cheap (probably less than $50 but that's a guesstimate) however I think throwing another cam in there would just eat it up like your current one.
I've never seen a machine shop that would let you line hone just one set of journals... but putting another cam in there would be fine. The journal is soft aluminum and the cam is hardened...Quote:

Lets see, I took my timing belt back off, took the cam gear off, and the backing plate, just so I could put a bracket in I forgot to put in, then put everything back together. Cleaned up the alternator and ended up putting a coat of paint on it. Cleaned up my tensioner pulley and put a coat of paint on it.

All I really need to do to the engine now is get the valve covers painted and on, and get over to my cousin's place and attempt to hydrodip the intake manifold.
Hmmm, interesting idea changing just the headrests! Can really change the look of the seats!
Think thread should be named to "what did you do to your car" so I can post more.
