Valves and cam journals and everything look perfect didnt pull it. I put a new cam and cam cap bolts in and it runs great again. The only lifter buckets that showed odd wear were the two on the #4 intake. they are on back order though. They were Supertech shim under bucket lifters quite a bit lighter weight than stock. springs are also Supertech the medium doubles.
the intake valves are also Supertech and I think they are ones made before supertech changed there manufacturing process because I have never expeianced seat wear with them that other people have.
I suspect one of the cam cap bolts on the back cam journal broke first and with the end of the cam not being suported it had some bending moment and the reverse bending cycles eventually killed it.
