spun cam motor

[sablesho97]

Hey Guys, I found a black sho in the junkyard the other day. Pulled valve covers and found that the rear cam pulley had spun. I bought the intakes and ecm. Was going to get the heads but did't know if the cam spinning damaged the head. Is our motor interface?

I do believe the V8's are an interference engine.

yes it is.

Thank you. So i shouldn't get the heads?

Do you need them? You can rebuild them if they're damaged but I haven't done this so I don't know the cost and availability of parts. No way to tell how much damage there is until you pull them and look at the valves.

I have a gd set but figured a spare would be nice.

buy just the front head if the back is damaged...

iirc when i got my heads rebuilt it cost somewhere around 1000 for both heads all redone but this was atleast 2-3 years back so parts were around...
