We tore down a 455 years ago that had a repaired #1 cam bearing. The cam bore had been overbored about a quarter inch and a aluminum spacer was installed. The spacer was staked in place with two Allen head set screws that were drilled and tapped so half the set screw was in the block and half in the spacer. Similar to the pulley in the photo.
We had no idea how long the the engine had been run with the repair as it looked like every other 75k mile plus engine from the outside. I used to have a photo of it but I can't locate it now.
Just food for thought.
