Thanks to all for the suggestions. Really on the fence about what to do. Already ordered the replacement cam and already have the AMS Johnson Hi-lift SE lifters. Still need to drop the oil pan and open up the filter. I can do everything myself except rebuild the crank so I am looking at my options to get that done ($$). I was actually considering selling the bike before this happened so putting a ton of money in it does not make me happy.
Not in a hurry to get this done so I'm thinking that once I see what kind of debris I find I can make a more informed decision. Spoke with Jim (Metal Dragon) and he made a good point - by the time I heard the noise in the drivetrain, the damage had already been done.
Options are to clean it, replace the cam, cam bearings and oil pump, run it for a bit and sell it (probably $700) or tear it down, replace all bearings, rebuild the crank, replace the cam and oil pump ($2000). Then have to think about selling it vs keeping it.
Big question/consideration is the crank rebuild. Metal Dragon sends theirs off for a rebuild which includes pinning and welding the crank ($800). Original crank is (was) really good (almost no runout). Wondering if I can get it rebuilt without pinning and welding for less and is this a good option? Anyone know if this can be done and who to reach out to?
