My personal thank you for sticking with the Pontiac engine and getting it repaired so you can enjoy the car. It will be worth it.

Thanks for the kind words...
I just emailed Luhn to get a new set of cam bearings. That's my first purchase.
Working through the list of new gaskets and what not now. Most of them got mangled in the tear down...
