Yes,
I hope I changed the right one! I changed the one on the right of the engine (passenger side near the back of the car.). I had to remove the airbox to get to it. That's bank 2 correct?

Has anyone actually seen the hole blocked or is the cam itself just not delivering the oil? I've never seen a picture of the sleeve in an unblock and then blocked image.
Here's a thread with some pics you might be looking for..

Sam,

while pinning the cams to also do rods and studs how much cost does that add to the job ? I know dealer is about 8k for new cams and a good Indy can probably do it for about 6k$.

Hey bud. I think you're about on point. Getting into the engine there's so many different flavors and set up some people who can do them. Anyone can always reach out and I'd be glad to help. I'm finishing up a core motor with John Bray right now so I'll have something on hand with my sort of signature package.

@saabin
Thanks for the link. Shows the pics nicely.
I went out for a spirited drive tonight and no cel....
Nerve racking....didn't want to sit at a red light cause that's when they seem to come.
