I'm with your Dealer on this; haven't seen or heard of the cam plate roller bearing checking out. Any chance of getting pictures?

your engine was still chain drive? or were you gonna replace gear drive?  curious for sure,too tight gear drive can cause failure, but sounds like you went into the cam chest for the first time?
